Railroad & SpecialQuestion 37 of 80
When stopped at a railroad crossing, the bus's hazard warning flashers should generally be:
a.Turned on to warn traffic behind you that you are stopping
b.Turned off to avoid confusion
c.Replaced by the red student-loading lights
d.Alternated with the headlights
Explanation
Activating the hazard flashers as you slow and stop at a crossing warns following drivers that the bus is stopping, since they may not expect it. Do not use the red student loading lights, which are only for loading and unloading. Follow your state and district policy on flasher use at crossings.
