Explanation
Regardless of your direction, if you approach a school bus with flashing amber lights, slow down - the bus is preparing to stop to pick up or drop off children. Reduce your speed and come to a complete stop when the bus stops, red lights flash, and the STOP sign is extended. Watch carefully for children.
