You stop behind a school bus that has its red lights flashing and its stop arm out. When may you drive on?
Correct answer: When the bus moves, the bus driver signals you on, or the red lights and stop arm are off.
Why
The red lights and the stop arm mean that children are getting on or off the bus. The stop rule applies to drivers who come from behind the bus and to drivers who meet it from the other direction, except on a highway with separate roadways. Yellow flashing lights come first: they mean that the bus is about to stop, so slow down and prepare to stop.
