Rules of the Road

Show Answer & Explanation
Correct Answer: B. Stop until the bus resumes or the lights stop flashing
On an undivided road, drivers approaching a stopped school bus from either direction must stop. The only exception is if the road has a median or dividing barrier — traffic moving in the opposite direction on a divided road does not need to stop.
Why the other answers are wrong
- A.Continue at your speed since the bus is facing youUnless the road is divided by a median, oncoming traffic must stop. Fatality risk is highest at these moments.
- C.Honk to indicate you are comingHorns do not exempt you from stopping; the stop-arm rule is absolute on undivided roads.
- D.Slow down but proceed with cautionThe rule is a full stop, not slow-and-go; slowing while continuing is illegal.
