When a school bus has its arm extended and lights flashing, at least how far must you stop your vehicle?

15 feet
20 feet
25 feet
30 feet

The correct answer is: 20 feet

When a school bus has its stop arm extended and its lights flashing, it indicates that children are either getting on or off the bus, and as a driver, you must prioritize their safety. The law requires that vehicles approaching from either direction must stop at least 20 feet away from the bus. This distance is set to ensure that the vehicle is far enough away for children to cross the street safely, minimizing the risk of an accident. Stopping at the correct distance provides ample space for children who may be unpredictable as they board or disembark from the bus. It also ensures that they have a safe path to and from the bus, which can be crucial for their safety. The law is strict about this to foster a safer environment for young pedestrians. Understanding and adhering to this rule is essential not only for compliance with traffic laws but also for contributing to the overall safety of children in transit.
