Question:
Ok, so a bus is stopped, going the opposite direction your road leads to. There is a median in between the bus and your side of the road, do you have to stop or is it safe to go? I live in Texas.

Is it your opinion that elderly drivers should be tested?


Drive with care when you near a school bus. If you approach a school bus from either direction and the bus is displaying alternately flashing red lights, you must stop and not pass until (1) the school bus has resumed motion, or (2) you are signaled by the driver to proceed, or (3) the red lights are no longer flashing.

You need not stop when meeting or passing a school bus which is (1) on a different roadway, or (2) upon a controlled-access highway where the school bus is stopped in a loading zone and pedestrians are not permitted to cross the roadway.

I am disabled .My right hand has been amputed after a road accident. What concessions can I avail.?

I am a School bus driver in Virginia. If there is a divided highway (Grassy median) in the middle of the highway and you are on the opposite side of the highway from the stopped school bus then you do not stop. Where it gets tricky is if the median is a narrow concrete type with pedestrians crossing over. If you are sure then stop with your hazards on. Children should never cross a divided highway. Vehicles travel too fast to see and or react to a small child in the road. Hope this helps!
