Explanation
Drivers must stop for a school bus with flashing red lights and an extended stop sign when approaching from any direction. Remain stopped until all children are clear of the roadway and the bus resumes motion. Passing a stopped school bus while loading or unloading is illegal and dangerous. The only exception is on a divided roadway with a median or barrier, where stopping is not required if the bus is on the opposite side. Always exercise caution around school buses.
