How far must you stop from a school bus with its stop sign extended?

To ensure the safety of children as they board and disembark from school buses, the law requires drivers to stop a minimum distance from a school bus that has its stop sign extended. Stopping at least 10 feet away provides a safe buffer zone for students. This distance allows for adequate visibility and space to react in case a child unexpectedly crosses the road. The requirement reinforces the importance of caution in school zones, where children may be present.

A distance of 15 feet, 5 feet, or 20 feet may not be as strictly defined in the context of Ohio law regarding school buses, making 10 feet the correct and mandated stopping distance. This regulation is key to maintaining safe road environments for children.
