Explanation
In all US states, it is illegal to pass a school bus loading or unloading children, whether you are approaching it or traveling behind it. When a school bus is picking up or dropping off children, you must come to a complete stop before reaching the bus. This law ensures children can safely board or exit the bus and prevents potential accidents. However, there are a few exceptions where stopping is not required, depending on the state.
