Question

Difficulty: EasyEmergency Vehicles, School Buses, and Work Zones

When a school bus is stopped on a two-lane undivided roadway with its red lights flashing and stop signal arm extended, drivers traveling in both directions must bring their vehicles to a complete stop.

Answer: Answer

Answer

True
The statement is correct because traffic in both directions on an undivided street must stop when a school bus activates its red flashing lights and stop arm, as children could be crossing either lane.

Step-by-Step Solution

1
Identify the type of roadway and the status of the school bus.
The scenario features a two-lane undivided roadway and a school bus displaying active flashing red lights with an extended stop arm.
School bus stopping regulations depend directly on roadway configuration (divided vs. undivided).
2
Apply state traffic laws for school bus stops on undivided roads.
Drivers approaching from both directions must stop completely before reaching the bus and remain stopped until the red lights turn off.
Undivided roads have no physical barrier, meaning children unloading from the bus may safely cross both lanes of traffic.
