What must drivers do when approaching a stopped school bus in a U.S. Forces controlled housing area?

When approaching a stopped school bus in a U.S. Forces controlled housing area, drivers must stop and wait until the bus moves again. This requirement is in place to ensure the safety of children who may be entering or exiting the bus. School buses are typically equipped with flashing lights and extended stop signs, signaling that vehicles must halt. Stopping not only protects children but also reinforces the rules established to create a safe environment for young pedestrians.

While caution is important in all driving situations, simply proceeding with caution, continuing if no children are present, or honking before passing do not adequately ensure the safety of children around school buses. Stopping is the most responsible action that aligns with traffic laws and the safety protocols put in place in controlled housing areas.
