Two things to keep in mind

1- Prepare to stop when a school bus activates all four flashing amber lights or, alternatively, its hazard lights.

2- Completely stop your vehicle more than five meters from the bus when the latter is activating:

• its flashing red lights;
• its stop sign.

Do not forget

Crossing or passing a school bus with activated flashing red lights may earn you a fine of $200-$300 and the loss of 9 demerit points;This stop is not mandatory when crossing a school bus if the driving surface is separated by a median strip.
