According to the South Carolina Department of Public Safety, the law requires a driver to stop when meeting the school bus or traveling behind it under the following conditions:

  • On any two-lane highway

    school bus

    flashing.

You do not have to stop around a school bus in the following circumstances:

  • When the school bus is in a passenger loading zone completely off the main travel lanes and when pedestrians are not allowed to cross the roadway.

  • A driver of a vehicle does not have to stop upon meeting a stopped school bus when traveling in the opposite direction on a multi-lane highway or multi-lane private road.
