When you approach a stopped school bus with its red lights flashing on an undivided roadway, you must come to a complete stop and remain stopped until

Correct answer

  • the bus starts moving.
  • the driver signals you to proceed.
  • the red lights stop flashing.

Explanation

Under West Virginia law, when you approach a stopped school bus with its red lights flashing, you must come to a complete stop and remain stopped until the red lights stop flashing, the school bus driver signals you to proceed, or the bus resumes its motion. The only two exceptions are if you are on a controlled-access divided highway and the school bus is either (1) on the opposite side of the highway or (2) adjacent to the highway where pedestrians are not allowed to cross the highway. In these two cases, you do not have to stop. (Note: Despite what the State of West Virginia Driver's Licensing Handbook claims, the controlled-access divided highway need not be an interstate highway.)
