Explanation
You must stop for a school bus that is displaying flashing red lights, whether you are approaching from the front or rear (unless the road is divided by a median). These lights indicate that children are boarding or exiting the bus, and failing to stop is a serious traffic violation. According to California law, if you do not stop, you may be fined up to $1,000 and your driving privilege could be suspended for one year. Always remain stopped until the red lights stop flashing and it is safe to proceed.
