Rules for schools Bus Stops:
In the state of Ohio, you must stop when driving from either direction (does not apply to multiple-lane or divided highways) until the children are safely off the street and the school bus lights stop flashing. The yellow flashing lights signal you to slow down and prepare to make a complete stop. When the red-light flashes, your vehicle must be fully stopped, even if the "stop sign" arm is not extended on the side of the bus.
You must stop in both directions on a two-lane road
On a road with fewer than four lanes, all traffic approaching a stopped school bus from either direction must stop at least 10 feet from the front or rear of the bus and remain stopped until the bus begins to move or the bus driver signals motorists to proceed. According to Ohio traffic laws, motorists can receive up to a $500 fine and possible suspended license for up to a year for failure to stop. If the bus is stopped on a street with four or more lanes, only traffic proceeding in the same direction as the bus must stop.
