Correct Answer:

You must stop your vehicle in both directions until the lights cease

Explanation:

When a bus is stopped with its red lights flashing, it indicates that passengers are either boarding or disembarking from the bus. Under California law, this means you must stop your vehicle in both directions until the flashing red lights are no longer activated. This rule is in place to ensure the safety of the children and other passengers when getting on or off the bus, as they may unexpectedly enter or cross the roadway. Failing to stop in this situation can lead to severe penalties and, more importantly, jeopardizes the safety of individuals near the bus. This law applies irrespective of the direction you're coming from; both lanes must stop to ensure a safe environment for passenger loading and unloading.
