School　bus　safety　has　attracted　widespread　attention　with　economic　development　and　the　improvement　of　overall　quality　of　the　population.　However,　violations　of　school　bus　regulations　and　school　bus-related　crashes　often　occur.　Limited　research　has　been　conducted　on　the　impact　of　the　school　bus　stopping　process　on　surrounding　drivers＇　behavior.　This　study　provides　a　driving　simulator　experiment　to　explore　drivers＇　behaviors　during　the　school　bus　stopping　process　under　different　traffic　law　awareness　status,　traffic　volume　status,　and　initial　location　status.　Eight　variables　about　behavior　decision　and　kinetic　parameters　were　assessed　for　analysis　by　a　logistic　regression　model　and　multivariate　analysis　of　variance　(MANOVA).　Results　show　that　the　mean　speed　decreases　and　the　number　of　people　complying　with　the　regulations　increases　after　publicizing　the　regulations.　The　proportion　of　surrounding　vehicles　in　the　acceleration　state　increases,　especially　under　the　scenario　that　the　traffic　volume　is　large　and　the　initial　distance　is　far.　This　indicates　that　the　enforcement　of　the　regulations　may　stimulate　unsafe　driving　behavior.　The　findings　of　this　study　could　help　policy　makers　to　better　understand　the　prevalence　and　compliance　of　current　school　bus　stopping　regulations　among　drivers　and　support　improvements　in　the　practical　application　of　the　regulations.
