What should you do when you see a school bus with its stop sign extended?

When you see a school bus with its stop sign extended, stopping your vehicle regardless of the direction you're coming from is crucial for the safety of children. The law requires all vehicles to stop when a school bus has its stop sign extended and its lights flashing. This is to ensure that children can safely enter or exit the bus without the risk of being struck by a moving vehicle.

By stopping, you are contributing to creating a safe environment for schoolchildren, who may be unpredictable as they are excited or distracted while getting on or off the bus. The law is designed to protect the most vulnerable road users, and compliance not only aligns with legal requirements but also demonstrates responsible driving behavior.
