Question 5141

When approaching a bus displaying this sign on its rear that is stopped picking up passengers, you must...

  1. reduce speed and, if necessary, stop the vehicle.
  2. signal your presence with flashes of light.
  3. always stop behind the vehicle until it resumes moving.
Show answer and explanation

Correct answer: reduce speed and, if necessary, stop the vehicle.

The yellow sign with two children indicates school transportation. As you approach a stopped bus, especially a school bus, you slow down and stop if necessary because a child may cross in front of it or behind it without you seeing them. You are not required to stay behind it every time until it starts moving.
