On a separated highway, you must still stop for a school bus with red lights.

• A. True
• B. False
• C. Only on certain days
• D. Only if the bus is on the same side

Answer: (B)

On a separated highway, a center median or barrier divides opposing traffic. The red lights and stop arm of a school bus mean you must stop only if you are on the same side of that divider as the bus. Traffic on the opposite side does not have to stop because the barrier prevents crossing traffic from reaching the bus’s loading area. So the statement isn’t correct in this situation. If there were no divider, then traffic in both directions would be required to stop.
