When a school bus is stopped to unload children on a highway divided with a raised barrier, are vehicles traveling in the opposite direction required to stop?

  1. No, vehicles traveling in the opposite direction do not need to stop

  2. Yes, vehicles in both directions must always stop

  3. No, unless there is no raised barrier

  4. Yes, but only if the bus has flashing lights

The correct answer is: No, vehicles traveling in the opposite direction do not need to stop

Vehicle traveling in the opposite direction do not need to stop because the raised barrier serves as a physical separation between the two directions of traffic. This means that vehicles on the opposite side of the barrier are not at risk of colliding with the school bus and can continue to proceed safely. Option B is incorrect because it states that vehicles in both directions must always stop, which is not true in this scenario. Option C is partially correct, but the main determining factor is the presence of the raised barrier, not just its absence. Option D is incorrect because flashing lights are typically used to indicate that a bus is about to stop, not that it has already stopped to unload children.
