True or False: On an undivided road, when a school bus has its stop arm extended and red lights flashing, traffic in both directions must stop.
Why this is correct
When a school bus is stopped with its red lights flashing and its stop arm extended, you must stop at least 20 feet from the bus and remain stopped until the stop arm is retracted and the red lights stop flashing. This applies regardless of whether you are facing the front or back of the bus. Violations can result in a misdemeanor charge.
From the official Minnesota Driver's Manual (page Page 45)
Flashing red lights warn drivers that the school bus is loading or unloading students. When you see a school bus that is stopped with its red lights flashing and its stop arm extended, you must stop your vehicle at least 20 feet from the bus.
