 This white sign is installed on multi-lane highways with no centre median divider. It informs drivers approaching from both directions that they must stop for a school bus when its signal lights are flashing. If you don't stop for a school bus, you can be fined and get demerit points for a first offence.
 

* The new lime green signs indicating school road safety are gradually replacing the earlier blue signs found across Canada.
