Correct answer: Only once all traffic has come to a stop.
Answer options
- AAs soon as the stop arm is extended
- BAs soon as the alternating red lights are on

Why
Red lights and an extended stop arm tell drivers to stop, but they cannot make every driver obey. Take one last look to confirm that traffic has actually stopped before you open the door completely and signal students to come.
