What should you do if you see a school bus with its stop sign extended?

When you see a school bus with its stop sign extended, you are required to stop your vehicle and wait until the stop sign retracts. This rule is in place to ensure the safety of children who may be getting on or off the bus. The stop sign is a clear indication that vehicles must come to a complete halt to prevent any accidents or injuries to children who are in the vicinity of the bus.

This requirement applies regardless of the direction you are approaching the bus from; it helps create a secure environment for children who may not always be aware of traffic and could be unexpectedly crossing the road. Compliance with this rule not only adheres to traffic laws but also significantly contributes to safety in school zones.
