Nevada Driver's Handbook Practice Test

What should you do when a school bus stops with red lights flashing on a road that has two lanes in each direction?

Continue driving slowly as long as you stay in your lane. Stop and do not proceed until the bus resumes movement and roadway is clear. Pass the bus immediately on the left. Stop only if you are approaching within 100 feet.

Correct Answer:

Stop and do not proceed until the bus resumes movement and roadway is clear.

Explanation:

When a school bus stops with red lights flashing, drivers must stop to protect children who may be loading or unloading. On a road that has two lanes in each direction, traffic in both directions must come to a complete stop. The red lights and stop arm indicate that children could be crossing the roadway, so proceeding could put them in danger. You should remain stopped until the bus resumes movement and the roadway is clear, then you may proceed. This rule ensures all lanes are protected, not just your own.
