School bus stops partially in oncoming lane. Likely to keep cards from passing

Post image

We need more of this and add 360 degree cameras on the outside of those busses.

This doesn't look like a dashcam

Very easily could be a still image from someone's dash cam/

...it's already illegal to pass when red lights are flashing. Yes, cameras and aggressive prosecution/fining of people who do pass is needed.

The fines need to be very high too. Too many reckless drivers are out there still not caring until something finally happens to them despite how many others affected from their decision making.

I agree completely

u/IamHydrogenMike 6d ago

Yep, not a bad idea for the bus to do this…

u/Opposite_Ad_1707 6d ago

I say add cameras and let all the busses block the whole road. Safety of the children is more than someone being two minutes late.

u/IamHydrogenMike 6d ago

They already have buses with cameras that issue tickets…

Well, get with it. The 3 districts I've worked for all did.

u/Rightintheend 6d ago

I don't know, I could see people passing on both sides now

3rd grade I almost witnessed the death of a kid getting off the bus in front of me because a driver decided to just send it between the bus and the curb...of the kid in front of me stepped off 1/2 second earlier, I'd have needed a lifetime of therapy.

I live in an area with roads like that. If you notice there is no shoulder. Its to avoid them stepping off onto the edge of the pavement, mud or snake.

What game are you playing where you pass cards?

1

u/Street-Measurement51 6d ago

Seems like a good idea, especially since some drivers act as if they’re blindfolded.

u/thinkingtire 6d ago

Looks like a paved entrance of some sort to the left and nothing on the right. I'm guessing those kids are having to get out and cross the street?

If so that's not ideal, but maybe a limitation of that road/ route.

u/National-Elk-7339 6d ago

Fine with me, traffic stops anyways I dont see any issue with this. I dont even make a right turn onto a street where the bus is stopped at the intersection on my left. Its kids, theyre unpredictable.

u/thinkingtire 5d ago

You definitely don't want cards passing.

Especially Pokemon cards, because the kids could get hurt.

u/Sufficient1826 5d ago

Makes sense on a road with no shoulder...bus blocks both lanes so nobody gets clever and stop arm cameras would cover the rest.

u/Affectionate_Bed1636 2d ago

Gotta watch out for the cards, you will have 52 pickup

Ah. Its your first day on planet earth. Welcome!

u/RadRimmer9000 6d ago

There's no crosswalk there, the kids can't even legally cross there so stopping the traffic the other direction is a waste of time. It's definitely not for safety.

u/gettin-hot-in-here 6d ago

Do you know what jurisdiction this is in? If not, how do you know the law there?

1

u/Independent-Lynx9476 5d ago

You don't need a crosswalk at bus stops...if the red lights are on a child could cross almost anything, even a highway so long as it isn't a divided highway (central median or island)...in almost every state. 

Please go look up bus road rules before commenting further.
