Right of Way When a school bus stops and flashes its red lights, traffic approaching from either direction must stop before reaching the bus:
Share the Road Yellow flashing lights mean the bus is preparing to stop to load or unload children. Slow down and prepare to stop your vehicle. Red flashing lights mean the bus has stopped and children are getting on or off. Stop your vehicle and wait until the school bus resumes motion or until signaled by the driver or police officer to proceed. _____________________________________________________________________
