On a two-way street or highway, all drivers must stop for a school bus that is picking up or dropping off children, regardless of their direction of travel. This rule ensures the safety of children as they board or exit the bus. Drivers should remain stopped until the bus's stop sign is retracted and the lights are no longer flashing. Failure to comply can result in significant penalties and endanger the lives of children.
