This is the way it works. On a two-lane roadway, you must stop when meeting or overtaking a school bus which has halted to load or unload children. On ruadways having thre- or more lanes, you must stop only if you’re traveling in the same direction. A fter having stopped, you must not proceed as long as any children aré leaving the bus or crossing the roadway. To assist in holding tra ffic while children cross the road, all buses are being equip ped with red atop signal arms as rapidly as possible. You must stop for the bus.whether or not the stop arm to displayed. Use of this signal by the bus driver simply Indicates the situation requires you to remain stopped. The law applies squally to city streets and rural roads and highways. .
