When a school bus route includes a bus stop that requires a child to cross a roadway, the school bus must be equipped with an extended stop arm that partially obstructs the roadway. A school child may not cross a roadway to enter or exit from a school bus unless the roadway has been partially obstructed by the extended stop arm. Extended Stop Arm must:
• Be equipped with additional flashing red lights as specified in 61-9-402, MCA;
• Be capable of extending a distance of at least 54 inches from the school bus; and
• Be at a height of not less than 36 inches.
Extended Stop Arm should have an additional illuminated stop sign located at the furthest distance from the school bus.
