Difficulty: EasySchool Buses and Children Zones

When driving on a multi-lane highway separated by a physical median barrier, drivers traveling in the opposite direction of a stopped school bus with flashing red lights are required to come to a complete stop.

Answer: Answer

Answer

The statement is False. Drivers traveling in the opposite direction on a highway divided by a physical median or barrier do not need to stop for a school bus with flashing red lights.
The correct evaluation is False. Standard traffic safety laws state that on highways physically divided by a barrier or unpaved median, vehicles traveling in the opposite direction of a stopped school bus are not required to stop.

Step-by-Step Solution

1
Identify the roadway configuration and bus state.
The roadway is a physically divided multi-lane highway with a median barrier, and the bus has flashing red lights extended in the opposing direction.
School bus stopping laws depend on whether the roadway is undivided or physically divided.
2
Apply the statutory rule for divided highways.
Opposing traffic is exempt from stopping because children will not cross a physically divided highway.
Traffic laws specifically exempt opposing traffic on divided highways with physical barriers or unpaved medians.
