Whenever a school bus is present we need to be alert and drive with extra caution.
Be mindful that with a school bus in the area, there may be children running late
for the bus and dart into the roadway from between parked cars or other obstructions
to your view. Also be prepared to stop when traveling near a school bus - never
try to speed past one to avoid stopping! Below are some examples of when you must
stop for a school bus per
ARS 28-857.
| All directions must stop on meeting or approaching from either direction a school
bus that has stopped on a highway with no physical or raised barriers regardless
of the number of lanes.

Vehicles traveling the same direction must stop on approaching a school bus that
has stopped on a highway. When there is a physical separation or raised barrier,
traffic on the opposite side of the highway of the bus does not stop. A physical
or raised barrier includes but is not limited to a grass median, raised concrete
median and/or fence.
