The specific distance you need to stop behind a school bus will depend on your local traffic laws. In general, it is recommended to stop at least 20-30 feet behind a school bus to ensure the safety of students entering or exiting the bus. Always follow the instructions and signage on the school bus and be aware of any specific regulations in your area.

If a school bus is stopped and has its red lights flashing you must?
If you meet from behind, stop far enough to allow children to cross the street in front of you and behind the bus. If you are meeting from the front of the bus, the same applies- stop far enough to allow children to pass in front of you and in front of the bus. YOU MUST NEVER pass a bus that is stopped, with their red stop sign out, and/or has their red lights flashing. These signs indicate imminent roadway crossing of children who may be unaware of your presence in the roadway. YOU MUST wait until the sign is retracted, the red lights stop flashing, and the bus proceeds on its way. ONLY THEN may you proceed on your way.
If you are driving behind a school bus and it shows a flashing red light signaling a stop how far should u stop?
You need to stop IMMEDIATELY or you can get a ticket. There doesn't appear to be a specific distance in most of the laws, a safe distance would be at least a car length away from the bus. There must be a safe distance for the children to go around the front of the bus and cross the street if appropriate.

Is it against the law in Boise ID to pass a school bus with yellow flashing lights and is in the far right lane of a three lane one way on Main Street downtown if you are in the far left lane?
Not really. You can be pulled over and issued a warning. The flashing lights on a school bus are for the children's safety, not to keep you from going where you need to go. It's mostly cautionary, unless the red stop sign is out, then you must stop regardless of what lane you are in.
