Fortunately, there's a super-easy way for you to avoid getting a ticket for passing a stopped school bus while driving! Namely, stop for stopped school buses.
Not in Montgomery County! Bus Patrol cameras are giving out citations to drivers who aren't even passing a school bus on the road. The school bus can be pulled off in a parking lot and as long as the camera can see cars, they get citations! Huge win for Bus Patrol. Too bad for County drivers.
Yeah, no.![]()
Roll your eyes over to East West Highway where citations are being given out every day by a MCPS school bus parked in a parking lot. Millions have been collected in that location and it's a well known scam among elected officials and neighbors.

sure it is.
There's some truth here. The 1400 East West Hwy stop does, indeed, generate a large number of tickets (roughly 1500 a year or 8 per school day, but I have no idea how often buses are stopped there). Source: https://dlslibrary.state.md.us/publications/counties/Montgomery/TR8-663(b)(1)_2022.pdf
But, the apartment building there, Lenox Park doesn't have a parking lot. The buses are in a short private circle off the road (see this reddit thread from someone who got a ticket: https://www.reddit.com/r/SilverSpring/comments/xoqsbq/be_aware_hidden_bus_stop_on_eastwest_you_will_get/).
Off the road. Not in the road and citations are still being given out.

It's kind of a reverse lottery that helps fund our schools.
