Should the two cars at the top of the graphic stop for the school bus?

In Idaho, as per the law, vehicles are required to stop for school buses that have their stop sign extended and lights flashing, which indicates that children are either getting on or off the bus. In this scenario, the vehicles at the top of the graphic are not required to stop if the school bus is not displaying its stop sign or if the lights are not flashing.

If the vehicles at the top observe that the school bus is stationary without its required signals activated, they are not legally obligated to stop. The primary goal of these regulations is to protect the safety of children when they are entering or exiting a school bus, and the activation of the bus's signals is a crucial component that determines the necessary action for drivers.
