School travel involves pedestrians, cyclists, buses, and drivers; the rules for approaching a stopped school bus depend on the bus signals, roadway, direction of travel, and statutory exception.
Read the current statute
North Carolina G.S. 20-217 requires a driver approaching a properly marked school bus displaying its mechanical stop signal or flashing red lights while stopped to receive or discharge passengers to stop and remain stopped as the statute provides. Subsection (c) describes an exception for a driver traveling in the opposite direction on a roadway divided in the manner the statute specifies.
Safety and fact questions after an event

- Photos, video, report information, vehicle information, and witness contact details
- Any medical or emergency-response records, kept separately from a conclusion about fault
- The exact statute, notice, or citation rather than a remembered penalty or general online summary

Home exercise records can provide useful context when several people or organizations disagree about how an injured cyclist is recovering. A bicycle accident may involve the rider, a driver, insurance companies, medical providers, employers, and sometimes witnesses or additional parties. When each person has different information, small gaps in communication can make it harder to […]
