Idaho Written Driver's License Practice Test

When a school bus is unloading passengers on a two-lane roadway, cars traveling in the opposite direction are required to not need to stop for the bus. This regulation recognizes that on a two-lane road, the bus is continuously picking up or dropping off students, but no physical barriers exist for other vehicles to follow. Hence, only cars traveling in the same direction as the bus are required to stop. This is important for the safety of children who may not be visible. It is crucial for drivers to remain vigilant and cautious as children may suddenly enter the roadway, but the law specifies that those in the opposite lane do not need to come to a complete stop. This ensures efficient traffic flow while still emphasizing the need for awareness of children's safety around school buses.
