What action should be taken if you see a school bus with its stop sign extended?

When a school bus has its stop sign extended, it signals that children are either entering or exiting the bus, which requires drivers to stop their vehicles. This law is in place to ensure the safety of children, who may be in the vicinity of the bus and may not be visible to drivers. Stopping your vehicle allows for a safe environment for children to cross the street or safely board or leave the bus.

Failing to stop could lead to serious accidents, legal penalties, or fines. It’s crucial for all drivers to be aware of this rule and understand the importance of reacting appropriately when encountering a stopped school bus.
