Explanation
When you approach from behind or from the opposite direction a school bus that displays flashing lights, you must stop until the lights are switched off or until the school bus moves. You don't have to stop as long as you are on a four-lane road, and the bus has stopped in the opposite direction that you are traveling in. Always watch out for children or pedestrians trying to cross the street.
