Treat the intersection as a four-way stop and proceed using normal all-way stop right-of-way rules.

Traffic moves in opposite directions and passing is prohibited for both sides. Crossing is allowed only for a permitted left turn.

Passing is allowed from your side when it is safe and there is no oncoming traffic close enough to be a hazard.

Only traffic traveling the same direction as the bus must stop. Traffic on the other side of a median or physical barrier may proceed with caution.

Move to a nonadjacent lane when safe for stopped emergency, tow, highway maintenance, or utility vehicles with flashing lights. If you cannot move over, slow down.

Yield by pulling to the right edge of the road and stopping until it passes. Avoid stopping in the middle of an intersection.

Large trucks have large blind spots and need more stopping distance. Following too closely puts you in a no-zone and blocks your view.
