question about school bus stopping rules

When you have a 4-lane boulevard with 1 middle turning lane (5 total), must you always stop when a school bus shows its red sign on the far side of the road? In the case I'm talking about there's no crosswalk at the bus stop and kids only gather on the side where the bus parks. It seems like only the two lanes next to the bus should have to stop, but all 4 often do even though kids only board from on one side of the blvd. The speed limit is 45.

Due to its location beyond a rise, you can't see there's a bus loading on the other side until you spot brake lights ahead. People don't know when to expect it and they brake hard. Then, you have to wait up to 5 minutes as kids board well out of range of your 2 lanes. What are the laws on this in states like CA and AZ? I know there's a chance a kid might run across the whole road but I haven't seen that in many years driving this route. The lack of a crosswalk would make it jaywalking anyway. Thanks for info.

Is that all
The problem is, you'll never pbutt up an opertunity to bash ford. But given my earlier post, I'll do a little to backup the point I made. 2005 CHRYSLER 300 SEAT BELTS...
