Delaware Driver Education State Practice Test

When a bus stops on a two-lane road, all traffic approaching the bus must come to a stop if the bus has its stop sign extended and lights flashing. This rule is in place to ensure the safety of children getting on and off the bus, as they may be crossing the road. It is essential for drivers to be vigilant and comply with this requirement, regardless of the direction from where they are approaching the bus. The option regarding only vehicles going in the same direction stopping does not account for vehicles coming from the opposite direction, which must also stop if there are no physical barriers like a median. Therefore, traffic following the bus must also stop to ensure overall safety on the road. Emergency vehicles are subject to different rules, which allows them to proceed past the stopped bus if they have their lights activated, but this does not apply universally to all vehicles.
