How far should you stay from a school bus with red flashing lights?

When a school bus has red flashing lights, drivers must stop to keep children safe as they load or unload. The minimum distance you must stay behind or in front of the bus on a typical road is 20 metres. This spacing gives kids room to cross safely and allows the bus to operate without crowding other vehicles. You’re required to remain stopped until the red lights stop flashing, the stop arm is retracted, and the bus resumes movement.
