Explanation
The flashing lights indicate that children are either getting on or off the bus and may be crossing the street. It is important to stop and wait until the bus resumes motion or the lights are turned off to ensure the safety of the children. Drivers should be cautious of children on the side of the road after a school bus has stopped, even if the lights are not flashing. However, on a divided highway, vehicles traveling in the opposite direction are not required to stop.
