About the Indiana CDL lights and stop arm test

The flashing lights and extended stop arm are a school bus driver's authority to halt traffic, and the Indiana school bus lights and stop arm test makes sure you use them right. This CDL drill covers the warning light sequence and stop arm under the S endorsement in 2026.

Questions address activating yellow lights before a stop, switching to red with the stop arm out while students cross, knowing when the system may and may not be used, and staying alert for drivers who illegally pass. Correct use of school bus lights and the stop arm is the shield that protects children in the roadway, and the Indiana exam expects flawless understanding.

Since the count varies, check your Indiana CDL Manual for the exact number of lights and stop arm questions before test day. Drill the signal sequence until each step is automatic, and you will move confidently into the rest of your school bus review.

Every question traces back to the Indiana CDL Manual - skim the right-of-way and signs chapters before your retake.
