When a school bus is stopped on the roadway with its red lights flashing and the stop arm extended, you must always stop in the following situations:
1. Oncoming Traffic:
- If you are approaching the bus from the opposite direction on an undivided road (no physical barrier, like a median), you must come to a complete stop.
2. Following the Bus:
- If you are traveling in the same direction as the bus, you must also come to a complete stop.
It is crucial to obey these rules to ensure the safety of children getting on or off the bus. Laws regarding stopping for school buses may vary by jurisdiction, so it's important to be aware of and follow local traffic regulations. Failing to stop for a school bus with its stop arm extended is a serious traffic violation and can result in fines and other penalties.
