Q: Hello I have a citation, and I was wondering if I am traveling on a main roadway and there is a soild yellow line
Indicates no turning / crossing the line from my side do I have to stop on a school bus sign/signal due to it just being for the opposite side of traffic in this case would those lines not act as a median of sorts for traffic ?
A: Yes, you must stop for a school bus. The law says you do not have to stop if there is a median. A double yellow line is not the same. Take a look at the statute.
Leonard A Englander agrees with this answer
A: Unless the roadway is divided by a concrete median, you are requires to stop for a school bus whose lights/signs are activated. A single or double yellow line separating your and the bus's direction of travel does not avoid your responsibility for stopping.
