Pass.
You should stop. This is for the safety of the children getting off the bus.
Vehicles approaching a school bus with its yellow lights flashing must stop.
The pentagon road sign indicates that you are approaching a school zone or a school crossing. It serves as a warning to drivers to slow down and be cautious of children crossing the road.
Not if it is a normal school day. Judges don't think kindly of people that speed around kids. And since there are pavement markings, multiple signs and warnings, it's pretty hard to convince them that you didn't see any of them. And what was blocking the lights or signs? A school bus? I had a friend come within inches of death when a car ignored the warning lights.
No, you should not pass a school bus with amber lights flashing. Amber lights indicate that the bus is preparing to stop, and drivers should slow down and be prepared to stop as well. Passing a school bus during this warning phase can endanger children getting on or off the bus. Always prioritize safety in school zones.
It was called "Friday Night Lights" because...in states that are huge fans of high school football--like Texas and Pennsylvania--high school football is usually played on a "Friday night"--under the "lights." Hope this helps. ;-)
It means that you are approaching a school.
I recently got a ticket for passing a school bus that was not flashing lights but was opening the stop sign as I was approaching the bus. I received my fine and almost fell back for knowing that my fine was $742. I appeared in court and now appealing the fine. It was not my fault that the bus was not flashing the lights.

Reduce speed and keep a sharp look out for children crossing, until you are clear of the area.
