Florida School Bus Law: Do Opposite-Direction Vehicles Stop on a 4-Lane Highway?

No. On a four-lane highway divided only by a paved median strip (not a raised barrier or unpaved space), Florida law requires only vehicles traveling in the same direction as the school bus to stop. Vehicles approaching from the opposite direction are not required to stop.

This differs from many other states where all traffic must stop unless there's a physical barrier. Always exercise caution near stopped school buses regardless of legal requirements.
