School bus stops — Wyoming Permit Test

You must stop when meeting or coming up behind a stopped school bus with flashing red lights, from either direction, and stay stopped until the bus moves or its red lights go off.

Children cross the road to and from the bus, often in front of it where a driver cannot see them.

The driver shall not proceed until the school bus resumes motion or the flashing red lights are no longer activated.

You may pass a school bus with its flashing red lights on only if there is a physical barrier or separate roadways between you and the bus, and then with extreme caution for pedestrians.

A barrier keeps children from walking into your lanes, which is the only reason passing a stopped bus is allowed.

Exception: You may pass a school bus with activated flashing red lights, only if there is a physical barrier or separate roadways between your vehicle and the school bus.

On a two- or four-lane undivided highway, vehicles going each direction must stop when a school bus stops.

With no barrier, a child getting off may cross every lane, so traffic both ways has to wait.

On a two or four lane undivided highway, vehicles going each direction must stop when a school bus stops.
