On a two-lane road, when a school bus has its red lights flashing and stop arm extended, you must:

When a school bus has red lights flashing and the stop arm extended, it signals that children may be crossing or boarding/alighting. On a two-lane road, traffic in both directions must come to a complete stop to create a safe crossing area. You stay stopped and do not move until the red lights stop flashing, the stop arm is withdrawn, and the bus begins moving again. Only then may you proceed, and you should do so with caution. This rule protects children from moving vehicles during crosswalk activities.
