Question

Accepted Answer

B: If the school bus is so equipped, activate alternating flashing amber warning lamps before the school bus stop in accordance with state law.. When equipped, the flashing amber lights perform a similar function to the yellow light of a traffic signal letting approaching drivers know that the light will soon turn red. Activate the flashing amber lights prior to making a complete stop, approximately 200 feet or 5 to 10 seconds before the bus stop, to signal approaching drivers that they should prepare to stop.
