Wait patiently until the red lights are no longer flashing and then proceed. A word of warning though. Stopped school buses may have just let children off the bus and said children are prone to running across the road without looking, so watch for children AFTER the bus starts moving. It may be legal to proceed, but if you hit some kid, that will be of little consolation (even if it isn't otherwise your fault).
The duration of Red Lights Ahead is 1.17 hours.
