In most states, when may you keep going past a school bus that is stopped with flashing red lights and its stop arm out?

Answer options

Why

In most states, drivers going the other way on a highway split by a median or physical barrier may continue. Vehicles behind the bus must always stop, and on most undivided roads traffic from both directions must stop too. Rules vary: New York, for example, requires drivers on both sides of a divided highway to stop.
