Until now, motorists going in the opposite direction had to stop only when the posted maximum speed limit was more than 35 miles per hour. But as of September 1 st, everyone must stop-except in one instance: instance: motorists going in the opposite direction from the school bus on the other side of a multi-lane highway divided by a physical barrier.
