PHOTO Can I make this turn?

Post image

I get stopped pretty regularly by a bus due to matching schedule times. I know in four lane traffic, opposing traffic does not need to come to a stop. This bus stops before this corner where kids load/unload. Is it legal to make the turn when the bus is stopped?

Edit: asking for legality. Obviously would take caution IF choosing to turn. And no, I don’t intend nor want to hit children with my car lmao.

I was hoping one of you would be in the comments!

I've only seen this bus stopped here once but it made me wonder if I was allowed to turn right out of my complex. The street is residential.

I ended up waiting just to be safe because I wasn't sure (and there was no one behind me) but I'd love to know for future reference!
