Apartments = residential neighborhood


but we're allowed to rundown apartment dwellers, right?

This. Also, OP you don't know what a highway is.

But I'm shocked... SHOCKED that a Maryland driver doesn't know how to drive and/or stop. I've always said that Maryland driving tests essentially come down to asking applicants to circle the photograph that most resembles a highway, and you have a picture of a residential road alongside a picture of a potato. As long as you don't circle the potato, you get a license in MD. Hence, OP.

The law obviously isn't new but I think they've gotten more of the cameras. We got one a couple years ago right as the bus was putting out its sign, but we paid it.

What did you say to contest it?

It is illegal to pass a school bus. If it is stopped, you are supposed to stop.

Are you seriously asking if it’s new? Have you never seen the stop sign attached to school buses?

The road, not a highway didnt have an established median. You are required to stop.

School buses don't stop on highways around here. It probably had highway in the name like EW highway.

Was the bus facing the same direction as you?

A bus stop on a highway? Interesting.

Is this new? I’ve lived here 25 years and this was the first time. I was on a 4 lane highway on the left most lane and the school bus was dropping off at some apartments on the right most lane. I didn’t even see it. It’s not like I was in some residential neighborhood.
