The ONLY situation where you do NOT have to stop for a school bus on the other side of the road in Florida is when:

• A.The road has a painted center turn lane
• B.The highway is divided by at least 5 feet of unpaved space or a physical barrier
• C.You are running late
• D.You are on a four-lane paved road with no median

The exception applies only on a divided highway with at least 5 feet of unpaved space or a physical barrier between the roadways. A painted line or turn lane alone does not excuse you from stopping.
