Explanation
Generally, on a two-way street or highway, you must stop for a school bus that is picking up or dropping off children. You must remain stopped until the stop signal is withdrawn and all children have fully crossed the road. However, if the highway is divided by a raised barrier or an unpaved median at least five feet wide, you do not have to stop if you are traveling in the opposite direction of the bus.
