In North Dakota, what should drivers do when they see a school bus with flashing lights?

In North Dakota, when drivers see a school bus with flashing lights, they are required to stop regardless of the direction they are coming from. This law is in place to protect children who may be getting on or off the bus. The flashing lights indicate that the bus is either actively loading or unloading passengers, and stopping allows children the necessary time and safety to cross the road.

Failing to stop can result in dangerous situations for children and legal consequences for the driver. It is important for all drivers to be vigilant and aware of their surroundings, especially in areas where children are present. This policy underscores the commitment to student safety and the need for drivers to always be cautious around school buses.
