Explanation
When a school bus stops with its red lights flashing, it means students are getting on or off the bus. In this situation, all approaching traffic-from either direction-must stop at least 20 feet away and remain stopped until the bus moves again or the driver or traffic officer signals it’s safe to proceed. Passing a stopped school bus with flashing lights is illegal on all New York State roadways, including divided highways.
