The school bus is on the opposite side of a roadway that is divided by a physical barrier.
You do not need to stop for a stopped school bus if it is on the opposite side of a divided highway, meaning there are physical barriers or multiple lanes separating your direction from the bus. Additionally, if the bus has its stop sign extended and lights flashing while you are traveling on a road with no designated school zone, you are required to stop only if you are on the same side of the road as the bus. Always be cautious and aware of children when driving near school buses.

If the way is clear, then the vehicle driver doesn't need to stop behind the stopped bus, but can overtake if it is safe to do so. It is all about common sense!
