Explanation
When a school bus flashes yellow/amber lights, it is preparing to stop to let children on or off. Slow down, be ready to stop, and give the bus plenty of space, as children may be crossing the road. Once the bus stops, the red lights and stop arm will activate. Always stop for a school bus with flashing red lights and an extended stop arm.
