On a two-way street or highway, all drivers moving in either direction must stop for a stopped school bus which is picking up or dropping off children, unless the highway is divided and the bus is on the other side of the roadway.

True or False

Answer 1

True

Step-by-step explanation:

Unless there is a median, on a two-way street or highway, all driver moving in either direction must stop for a stopped school bus picking up or dropping off school children until the red light is off and the driver of the bus indicates that they can start moving.

Answer 2

True

Step-by-step explanation:

According to the School Bus Traffic Law, drivers are required to stop and wait for a school bus that has stopped to pick up or drop off school children, so as to protect the children that are boarding or alighting from the bus.

For example, if a stopped school bus is displaying a flashing, alternating red lamp, the driver of a car meeting or overtaking the stopped school bus from either direction (front or back) must stop and wait until the bus moves again or the red light is off.

On divided highways, most American and Canadian jurisdictions do not require drivers to stop when on the opposite side of the road from a stopped school bus.
