When must you stop your vehicle?

Stopping your vehicle when meeting a school bus or daycare bus that has stopped to pick up or drop off children is crucial for ensuring the safety of the children. Kansas law specifically requires drivers to stop in these situations to protect young passengers who are entering or exiting the vehicle. School buses are equipped with flashing lights and extended stop signs to alert drivers to the need to stop, emphasizing the importance of being vigilant in these scenarios.

While there are other circumstances, such as needing to stop for pedestrians or in school zones, the primary focus here is the specific requirement to stop for school buses, which is legally mandated to safeguard children during these critical moments.
