The driver of a vehicle overtaking or meeting a school bus which has stopped and is displaying two alternately flashing red lights located at the same level shall bring the vehicle to a full stop not less than ten feet from the school bus and shall not proceed until the school bus resumes motion or the visual signals are no longer actuated. The driver of the school bus, before resuming motion, shall deactivate flashing lights and permit stopped traffic to proceed, and shall when resuming motion proceed in a manner which will allow congested traffic to disperse by keeping the bus as near to the right side of the road as can be done safely. Passengers crossing the road upon being discharged from a school bus shall cross in front of the stopped school bus. At an intersection where traffic is controlled by an officer or a traffic stop and go signal, a vehicle need not be brought to a full stop before passing a stopped school bus but may proceed past the school bus at a speed not greater than is reasonable and proper, but not greater than ten mph and with due caution for the safety of passengers being received or discharged from the school bus. Signs giving notice of this regulation shall be posted at the entrance of the village as may be most appropriate or sufficiently legible as to be seen by an ordinarily observant person.
