Difficulty: EasySchool Buses and Children Zones

Drivers traveling in the opposite direction on a highway divided by a physical concrete barrier must bring their vehicle to a complete stop when a school bus on the opposite side extends its red stop arm.

Answer: Answer

Answer

False. Drivers traveling in the opposite direction on a highway physically divided by a concrete barrier or median are not required to stop for a school bus on the other side.
The statement is false. Standard traffic laws state that when a roadway is physically divided by an unpaved median, concrete barrier, or guardrail, vehicles traveling in the opposite direction of a stopped school bus with flashing red lights do not need to stop.

Step-by-Step Solution

1
Identify the roadway configuration described in the scenario.
The roadway is a divided highway featuring a physical concrete barrier between opposing travel lanes.
School bus stopping rules depend directly on whether a physical median or barrier separates opposing traffic.
2
Apply traffic safety laws regarding school bus stop signals on physically divided roads.
Oncoming traffic on the opposite side of a physical barrier does not need to stop.
Physical barriers prevent children from attempting to cross oncoming traffic lanes.
