If the vehicle is signaling a right turn, stay behind it, away from the curbside, until the turn is completed. Remember…The larger the vehicle & the higher the rate of speed – the longer it takes to stop

Cover the brake Amber flashing lights = the bus is about to stop Red flashing lights and the stop arm extended = the bus is stopped DON’T PASS A SCHOOL BUS WITH FLASHING RED LIGHTS OR AN EXTENDED STOP ARM
