...............................................................................................................................  SHARING THE ROAD  School Buses  It is against the law for any driver to pass a school bus when the  school bus displays a stop signal.  On a two-way street or highway, all drivers moving in either direction must stop for  a stopped school bus that is picking up or dropping off children. You must remain  stopped until the stop signal is withdrawn and all children are clear of the roadway.  If the highway is divided by a raised barrier or an unpaved median at least five feet  wide, you do not have to stop if you are moving in the opposite direction of the  bus. Painted lines or pavement markings are not considered barriers. You must  always stop if you are moving in the same direction as the bus and you must remain  stopped until the stop signal is withdrawn.  School area signs advise drivers of school zones and school crossings. School zones  and school crossings provide students with a safe zone when they cross the road to  and from school.  Crossing guards are the first to enter and last to exit a crosswalk to indicate that  pedestrians, especially children, are about to cross or are crossing.  When children  or school crossing guards are present in a crosswalk, you must yield and stop  at the stop line and not in the crosswalk.
