Difficulty: MediumEmergency Vehicles, School Buses, and Work Zones

When traveling on a divided highway separated by a physical median, drivers proceeding in the opposite direction of a stopped school bus with active flashing red lights are legally required to stop.

Answer: Answer

Answer

False. Motorists traveling in the opposite direction on a highway separated by a physical median are not legally required to stop for a school bus displaying flashing red lights.
The statement is False because standard DMV traffic regulations exempt opposing traffic on a physically divided highway from stopping for a stopped school bus operating its red loading lights.

Step-by-Step Solution

1
Analyze the physical configuration of the roadway described in the scenario.
The roadway is a divided highway featuring a physical median separating opposing traffic flow.
Traffic regulations distinguish between undivided multi-lane roads and physically divided highways.
2
Apply statutory rules for school bus red light stops on physically divided roadways.
Opposing traffic across a physical barrier or unpaved median strip is exempt from stopping.
Physical barriers prevent students from crossing into oncoming lanes, rendering opposite-direction stops unnecessary.
