When driving in Guam, when must you stop for school buses?

Stopping for school buses is crucial for the safety of children and the general public. The requirement to stop when a school bus is stopped with its red lights flashing serves to protect children entering or exiting the bus, as they may cross the street unexpectedly. When the red lights are activated, it signals that children may be present and it is unsafe to proceed.

This regulation is in place to prevent accidents and ensure that drivers remain vigilant while in the vicinity of school buses. It is important to adhere to this rule strictly, as failing to stop can lead to severe penalties and, more importantly, could jeopardize the safety of children.

While there may be circumstances, such as when the bus is in motion or if children are not visibly crossing, these do not necessitate stopping. The emphasis is on the red lights specifically indicating a stop for the safety of all, especially vulnerable road users like children.
