Question: You must stop for a school bus with flashing red lights and stop arm extended:

Answer options:

• From behind only ✅ From both directions on undivided roads
• Never on highways
• Only in school zones

Correct answer: From both directions on undivided roads

Explanation: Under the Québec Highway Safety Code, drivers traveling in both directions on an undivided road must stop at least five meters from a school bus when its red lights are flashing and its stop sign is extended. Oncoming traffic must stop to protect children who may cross the street, which disproves the behind only option. This safety law applies on all public roads, not just in school zones, and is mandatory on highways unless a physical median separates the traffic flows. For the SAAQ exam, remember that you must stop from both directions unless there is a physical barrier dividing the roadway.
