Answer

Stop completely at a safe distance and remain stopped until the red lights are turned off and the stop arm is retracted.
On an undivided two-lane road, vehicles traveling in both directions must come to a complete stop when approaching a school bus with active flashing red lights and an extended stop arm, remaining stopped until the lights are turned off.

Step-by-Step Solution

1
Identify the roadway structure and traffic situation
You are traveling on an undivided two-lane road approaching a school bus displaying flashing red lights and an extended stop arm.
Road layout dictates whether oncoming traffic is required to stop.
2
Apply traffic regulations for school bus red lights on undivided roads
Drivers approaching from both directions must come to a complete stop.
Undivided roads present a high risk of children crossing the roadway.
3
Determine when it is safe and lawful to proceed
Remain completely stopped until the bus turns off the flashing red lights and withdraws the stop arm.
Moving while red lights are flashing violates safety laws and risks pedestrian injury.
