Explanation
You must stop for a school bus that is loading or unloading passengers. In South Carolina, this is required by law on any two-lane highway, whether you are approaching the bus or traveling behind it. However, you do not need to stop in these two scenarios:
1) The bus is in a passenger loading zone completely off the main travel lanes, and pedestrians are not allowed to cross the roadway.
2) The bus is traveling in the opposite direction on a multi-lane highway or private road with at least four lanes (two lanes in each direction).
