Explanation
When a school bus has its red lights flashing, it is either loading or unloading children. Drivers must stop in both directions and remain stopped until the lights stop flashing and the children have crossed the street. The only exception is when you're on the opposite side of a divided or multilane highway with two or more lanes in each direction; in this case, you do not need to stop.
