Most states do not require you to stop for a school bus that is on the opposite side of the road with a median. Laws vary from state to state so it is best to check the laws for your specific state.

∙ 13y agoIn MOST states that I'm aware of, you don't have to IF it's a highway DIVIDED by a physical barrier (e.g.: median strip - crash barriers - etc). However, if it isn't divided, you are required to stop.

Law for stopping for school bus on divided four-lane road in san antonio tx?
not required to stop unless children are crossing the street
Ohio law for stopping for a school bus on a 4 lane highway?
When I went through a driver update(for my company), the LEO said that school buses are not allowed to discharge passengers that would go across a four lane road. Therefore the vehicles travelling in the same directions as the bus must stop but vehicles going in the opposite direction are not required to stop.

What if its a 2 lane road and a bus is flashing yellow light with a stop sign do i still stop even if i am in the further lane?
If the highway isn't divided by a physical barrier, you're required to stop, regardless of which lane you're in. As for the stop sign, the bus driver isn't supposed to have that stop sign out until the bus is stopped with red lights flashing, and they have ensured that traffic has stopped. However, their error doesn't negate your requirement to stop.

Should you stop for a bus on a four lane road in Florida?
Schoolbus? On the opposite side of a 4-lane roadway and travelling in the opposite direction than the schoolbus, you do not have to stop. It is against the law for school buses to pick up or discharge students to walk across a 4-lane roadway. They can only discharge and pick up on the same side of the street. HOWEVER: If you are on the same side and travelling in the same direction as the schoolbus, yes, you must stop behind the bus.
