What is the appropriate action when approaching a school bus with flashing red lights on a two-lane road?

When approaching a school bus that has its flashing red lights activated on a two-lane road, the appropriate action is to stop and remain stopped until the lights stop flashing and the bus resumes moving. This law is in place to ensure the safety of children who may be entering or exiting the bus. The flashing red lights serve as a clear signal that drivers must stop, as children can be unpredictable and may suddenly cross the road.

Stopping not only fulfills legal obligations but also protects the safety of young pedestrians, who may not always be easily visible to drivers. It’s essential for all drivers to comply with this requirement to contribute to a safer environment for students as they board or disembark from the bus.
