“Highway” means a lot of things depending on the context. Sometimes it’s an interstate system with on and off ramps, but it also refers to a non-residential road (though in western New York, I’ve seen houses with driveways that connect with I-84, so who the fuck knows what the deal there is).
For the purposes of stopping for buses/emergency vehicles, a divided highway is any nonresidential road with a raised median such that a car is unable to turn around at any given place. At least in my state.
After we got the ticket in the mail I did some brief research on what a divided highway is, but non-residential didn’t pop up in any of the reading I did. Granted, I just got an answer and moved on, but maybe there are different definitions in each state. It seems like something that should be the same in every state, though.

To be honest, I was using “residential street” to give a general idea, I think the phrasing in my driver’s ed class was related to turning left
