KRS 189.375: School or church bus signaling device -- Use -- Stopping regulated.

No school or church bus shall be licensed or operated for the transportation of school

children unless it is equipped with bus alternating flashing signal lamps and a stop arm

folding sign. The bus body shall be equipped with a system of four (4) red signa l lamps,

two (2) on the front and two (2) on the rear of the bus, and four (4) amber signal lamps.

Each amber signal lamp shall be located near each red signal lamp, at the same level, but

closer to the vertical centerline of the bus. The bus body shall be equipped with a stop

arm folding sign on the driver's side with letters at least six (6) inches in height displaying

the word "stop" on both sides. Prior to stopping the school bus for the purpose of

receiving or discharging school children, the driver sh all activate the amber flashing

signal lamps. Once the bus comes to a complete stop, the driver shall extend the stop arm

and activate the red flashing signal lights prior to opening the door so it shall be plainly

visible to traffic approaching from both directions that the bus is in the process of

receiving or discharging passengers. No driver shall stop a school or church bus for

receiving or discharging passengers in a no passing zone which does not afford

reasonable visibility to approaching motor vehicles from both directions unless a "School

Bus Stop Ahead" sign has been installed a reasonable distance before that spot in the

roadway. No driver shall stop a school or church bus for the purpose of receiving

passengers from or discharging passengers to the opposite side of the road on a highway

of four (4) or more lanes; provided, that this provision does not prohibit the discharging

of passengers at a marked pedestrian crossing.
