When the bus is displaying the second half of the eight light warning (alternately flashing red lights) all traffic proceeding in both directions of an undivided highway of four or fewer lanes must stop. If the highway is four or more lanes and is divided (by a median strip, for instance) only traffic proceeding in the same direction as the bus must stop. The vehicles must provide at least 10 feet of distance to the bus when stopping. It is illegal to overtake or pass a bus that is stopped to load children.In Texas, you must stop 50 feet from a school bus that has it'smovable stop sign(s) extended and alternating red lights flashing. Roads that have a median divider do not require opposing lanes of traffic to stop unless the median has a cross-through where the buss is stopped.
Stay 500 feet behind it if it's lights are flashing (in the U.S.)
$250 for the first offense. You must come to a complete stop and wait for the bus to turn off their red flashing lights before you are eligible to proceed
turn on flashing lights (caution)
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.
