When to Stop for a School Bus in Pennsylvania
On undivided roads in Pennsylvania, all traffic must stop for a school bus with red lights flashing; violations bring license suspension, fines and points.
Whether you must stop for a school bus in Pennsylvania depends on how the road is divided. On multi-lane roads with no physical divider—even if there is a center turn lane—all traffic in both directions must stop at least 10 feet away when a bus has its red lights flashing and stop arm extended. Meeting or overtaking such a bus triggers a 60-day license suspension, a substantial fine and 5 points on your driving record.
