|
Stop until the bus moves on.
|
|
|
Stop until the bus driver signals you to go.
|
|
|
You’re not required to stop - use caution as you pass the bus.
|
|
|
Stop only if you’re on the same side of the road as the bus.

Explanation
In this situation, the absence of flashing lights indicates that children are not currently boarding or disembarking from the bus. Therefore, drivers are not legally obligated to come to a complete stop but are advised to exercise caution as they pass the bus.
