Right-of-Way & Intersections

You are behind a school bus that stops with flashing red lights on your side of a divided highway with a physical median. You must:

  • A.Pass because there is a median
  • B.Pass only in the left lane
  • C.Stop, because the median exception applies only to traffic traveling in the opposite direction
  • D.Honk and continue slowly
Correct answer

C. Stop, because the median exception applies only to traffic traveling in the opposite direction

Why

Same-direction traffic behind a stopped school bus must always stop. The physical-median exception helps only drivers approaching from the opposite direction.
