Regulatory Signs

Stop for School Bus Signals Sign

Stop when a school bus displays its flashing red signals as required by the road layout.

By Roadity · Updated

Stop for school bus — both directions
Stop for school bus — both directions

What to Do

Watch the bus, children and traffic in both directions. Follow the bus’s signals before proceeding.

A Detail to Remember

The BOTH DIRECTIONS version is used on multi-lane roads without a median divider. Read that wording rather than assuming the opposite side is exempt.

Understanding Regulatory Signs

Regulatory signs communicate instructions road users must follow. Read supplementary wording carefully: the vehicle type, road layout or time of day can affect how an instruction applies.
