[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I hate the way school bus laws are implemented. I once received a ticket for not stopping for a school bus that had its stop sign up, when we were on a 4 lane road, WITH a median... but the bus was stopped at the sole point in the road when the median disappeared in favor of a very short left turn lane (so a 5 lane road). I saw the schoolbus, but did not see that the median had briefly disappeared. I was on the right-most lane, the bus was on its rightmost lane, so there were three lanes between us.

There is no blasted way any child is going to cross a 5 lane road in time for me to somehow not see them cross and thus get into an accident. In such circumstances, I really think getting a ticket is ridiculous.

I support schoolbus traffic rules when the roads are narrower, of course, because the shorter distance does pose a life-threatening risk to children who cross the road.

Op here. This sounds similar to my case. The bus seemed so far away and I was focused on making my turn and following the green light. I turned right onto the four lane road and the bus was way to the left of me.
