Although each state may differ slightly, generally drivers are required to stop when they encounter a school bus that is:

• A. Stopped with red lights flashing
• B. The stop arm extended
• C. Approaching from either direction on an undivided highway
• D. All of the above

Answer: (D)

When a school bus is signaling to load or unload children, drivers must stop to protect them. Red lights flashing and the extended stop arm both tell you to stop, and on an undivided roadway traffic from either direction must stop so children can cross safely. Taken together, these conditions cover the typical scenarios where stopping is required, so the best choice is the one that includes all of these signals. After the bus resumes movement and the signals are withdrawn, you may proceed.
