School Bus Stops Knowledge Base
Do you have to stop when a school bus stops at a railway crossing? I live in Ontario, Canada. Yesterday, a small school bus flashed it's lights to stop at the railway (as all buses have to). I saw people in the opposite direction stop for the bus, but I didn't. Are you supposed to stop for a school bus that stops at a railway, even though they're not letting kids on or off? If so, I thought you only had to stop for a school bus if it's stop sign was out, or children were being let on or off of the bus?
Do i need to stop when a School bus stops? If you are travelling down a 2 or 4 lane road with a divider or a large median between the lanes and a school bus stops on the opposite side are drivers required to stop.
Are sex offenders allowed at school bus stops? I know my neighbor is on the list it happened 20 years ago I don't know the circumstances of what exactly happened but I was wondering could he get in trouble for bringing his kid to the bus stop and waiting there for the bus to come pick his kid up?
Should I stop for a stopped school bus in this situation? So it's a 45mph zone with 2 lanes going in each direction with a median in the middle. If a school bus stops on the other side, do I need to stop (going the opposite direction)? It's been awhile since drivers ed and when I stop for the bus, people fly by me...
Do you stop when a school bus stops when..? there are two double lanes going north and south with a median in between? For exmple if I was heading south and the school bus were heading north and stopped to drop off children, do I have to stop eventhough I'm on the other side? I never see anyone stopping if they are on the opposite side. This is the state of Minnesota by the way.
When a school bus stops behind the railroad track and drives to the right side of the lane...? Okay, so I'm trying to prove my friend wrong. We had this argument, because the school bus moved to the side behind a railroad track. I was the driver here and he was on the passenger side (he doesn't have his drivers license yet and he failed 2 times on his driving test). So recently I was driving behind a school bus (not tailgating, just to let you know) when suddenly the school bus drove to the side and stopped behind the railroad track, there was no train coming or anything it just stopped to the side. So I stopped behind the school bus but not where the school bus was at then my friend yelled at me and told me to go around it. I told him that I wasn't suppose to go around or pass the school bus when it stops right in front of you. Now here, it was kind of confusing, the school bus didn't have flashing red lights but I still stopped behind it. Was I suppose to go around it? or wait until the school bus starts going? Who was right? OH! And if certain states have certain kind of rules, I live in California.
School bus stops? Lets say you are on a 4 lane road. A school bus has stopped (let's call this lane 1) . I know that the car going in the same direction (lane 1) behind the bus has to stop and the remaining car in the other lane (lane 2) going the same direction has to stop. Also the car going the opposite direction (in lane 3) has to stop. What of if you are in the outer 4th lane? Do you have to stop? I come across this everyonce in awhile when I am in this lane. I stop, but a lot of people who are behind me get pissed and start honking. What is the law? Please no disrespectful answers! Thanks! Oh yes, it is the best thing to stop even if people are honking at you. It is better to be safe than sorry. Oh, I am not talking about a 4 lane highway. I am talking about a 4 lane road right outside my apartment complex that there is a school bus on.
school bus? OK So i wanted to know how far can you live from the school bus stop 1 mile 2 miles????
school bus stops, and kids' safety? I have an idea for keeping cars from passing by busses that have stopped and endangering kids: have the busses pull into the oncoming lane and then pulling the front of the bus back into the right lane, so that no cars can pass in either direction. Then when the kids are safe, then pull away. Is this a good idea?
what is the penalty for failure to yield to a school bus stop sign? My little sister got pulled over because she ran a stop sign on a school bus, it turned too quick for her to stop in time and the cop pulled over her and another car at the same time and the ticket is not a pay out instead she has to go to court. I was wondering if she is just gonna get a fine or if she faces other punishment. Ive tried searching myself and came up with a bunch of dead ends. we live in ohio. thanks!!
Stopping when a school bus is unloading? Lets say I'm taking a left onto a quiet street and there is a school bus stopped past another small intersection close by. There is a driver that has stopped before the intersection. I drive up and stop behind him. Is this cool? I'm a new driver.
Traffic rules. When a school bus stops on one side of a divided hwy (7' of grassy area inbetween) do you stop I have never encountered this situation until recently when we moved to a larger city. I've never had a traffic violation and don't plan to, so hopefully you can help! Everyone else just zips on by, but I would like to know if there's a cop behind me...am I technically suppose to stop? If the school bus is stopped on the northbound side and we're traveling on the southbound side. Hope that helps! I'm in FL and I noticed today that it's more like a 10'-12' grassy division w/ some trees here and there. Two lanes going each direction. Tried to look at the website, but since they don't have a search feature, I'd have to read the entire handbook in .pdf to find out.
Am I get truble if I video tape kids fight at school bus stop? My kids are going to middle school and we live in a not so good neiborhood. Often kids fight, tease etc...while waiting on the school bus. I call school & transportation dept. about what is happening at the bus stop but both seem like don't want to take responsibility. If I tape what the kids are doing at the bus stop and show to the local board of education, I think they will do something to keep kids safe at the bus stop but I'm also worried I might get charged for taping the kids.
what is the law on kids walking home by themselves from the school bus? My daughter is 6 years old and about 4'4".

We live down a hill sixhouses from the bus stop. How old does the child have to be to walk home from the school bus in ga and dekalb county?

Can a mail carrier vehicle pass a stopped school bus? It seems that sometime in my past that I heard that a mail carrier is the only vehicle that did not have to stop for a stopped school bus. A school employee did not know the answer. I would like an answer from a school transportation department or postal service employee.
Will I get a Ticket ? School bus stops behind me...? There is a n intersection not controlled by lights and I was taking a left turn. Ofcourse there are oncomming traffic So I have to wait till its clear. (2 Lanes each road). I turn my left signal and then all of a sudden I see the cars in the oncomming traffic stopping and i wonder why... I look at my right side mirror and I see a bus thats stopped. I think it was behind me a little bit but it stopped after me. Since all the cars stopped on the oncomming traffic, I thought okay i can turn left and go. So thats what I did. Was I allowed to do that or did I have to wait? If I waited, there would be so much traffic behind me because Of my left turn and the oppossing cars there would be too much. So 1. was I allowed to take the left turn because the opposing cars stopped? The bus stopped behind me and I was infront of it. and 2. Can the bussdriver get my licence plate and write me a ticket if i wasnt allowed? like will i get a ticket in the mail . Im 17 years old my parents will kill me.

Is this considered passing a school bus cuz I didnt pass it and I stopped in the middle of the bus area.
School bus stop outside house, kids are destroying fence and teasing dogs.? I have an elementary school bus stop on the side of my house. My husband and I paid $4000 to have a chain link fence installed around perimeter of property. The kids at the bus stop are kicking my fence, bouncing off of it, and teasing my dogs. I have went out there numerous times, called the school district, and am at the point of filing a police report for destruction of property as the kids are ruining my fence. I am so frustrated and the school district said oh well. What should I do?

Why motorists are impatient of public and school bus? In New York area, motorists are always risking bus. Car popping out in front of motion city bus from gas station while was about to move. Even the trailer truck coming out off driveway cut off the bus. Recent incident, when bus was pulling into bus stop, car on right cut off, causing passenger accident or going opposite lane to pass the bus and went on red light. And at Metropolitan Museum of Art, I saw school bus flashing STOP SIGN or RED Flashing Signal, but car drivers just keep going even thought sign says, IT'S FEDERAL LAW.
How do I use the public school bus? I received a paper near the beginning of the year that was my public school bus pass. The bus stops about a block from my house. Can I still go on it without the pass? PS its Miami Dade county
Can you pass a stopped school bus if there is a median between the roads? Ok, so a bus is stopped, going the opposite direction your road leads to. There is a median in between the bus and your side of the road, do you have to stop or is it safe to go? I knew this would sound kind of confusing, so I drew a diagram. The QUESTION MARK ("?") is the vehicle in question. Is it lawful for it to continue and not stop when there is a median in between (and yes, I know you have to stop when there is NO median in between)? This is a question for drivers in the UNITED STATES only. http://img166.imageshack.us/img166/5482/go9oh.png ####### I'm in Texas. And guys, please, give me an accurate answer. I don't want to second guess myself and end up with a ticket.
Do you talk to the people at your school bus stop? Today at my bus stop it was just me and this guy who's my neighbor. I've basically known him for, like, ever, but we're not really friends. We didn't say one word standing there for like 5 minutes! It drove me nuts! but I think it would be even more awkward if i just striked up some random conversation lol! And it's always like this, usually noone talks at the bus stop! Is it ever like this for you?
Have you ever missed your school bus stop? I missed it today and had to stand on a street corner for almost an hour.( I had already called my ride and didn't want to worry him if I left). Have you ever missed your bus stop?
What is the law in TX regarding passing a school bus? We used to live in MD where if the school bus was stopped (loading or unloading children with flashers on) on the OTHER SIDE of a divided highway, you did not have to stop. On the one occassion I've encountered this situation since we've been in Texas, I continued but the person behind me stopped. Did I mess up?
Ticket for running a school bus that was stopped? Can anyone tell me how much a ticket would be for running a school bus that was stopped unloading kids in the state of georgia, or does it vary from county as well? what happened was that, there was a wreck about 100 ft and when the bus stopped on side of the road, i stopped to, but i was too busy checking what had happened, when i seen that the accident had been cleared and the police were the only ones there, i went ahead and didnt even realized that the bus was stopped to unload the kids. I felt very bad but then again it was not my intention... =((
Too young to be at a school bus stop alone? My step-son is 8 years old and his father and I are disagreeing on whether he should be able to go to the bus stop alone in the morning. He doesn't have to cross any streets, and would only be out there for about 6 minutes and it is only about 2 1/2 houses away and I'd be able to see him and hear him from my window. In the winter I definately take him out because it snows here and we sometimes have to walk in the street to get to his bus stop but with the warm weather here I see no problem with him being able to walk out to the bus stop or standing there for a few minutes. I see some of these parents who let their children who are obviously younger than he is walking to school by themselves and crossing streets that have no crossing guards and some of these streets are pretty busy streets. Is he being too over protective or should I just let it drop and take him out? There are no dangerous people in out neighborhood that we know of. We have even gone online and looked to see if there were any known pedophiles in our neighborhood and there isn't. Our neighborhood is a very good one...a few families with kids and a lot of elderly couples.

How to fire a public school bus driver? All the students on the bus have issues with her? My brother rides a school to and from school, but the bus driver who is a female, is consistently a pain to deal with. We have had problems with her for over a year since my brother began to go to that high school. I can safely say almost all of the students hate or have problems with this bus driver. She is very unsafe, runs stop signs, talks on her cell phone ( while driving), speeds, and leaves the bus stop early at times as well and forces students to take other types of transportation home. My question is how do I get this bus driver replaced IMMEDIATELY, can anyone list a step by step process... thank you very much.

How do I get the school board to move bus stop? My daughter's bus stop is at a very dangerous intersection but the bus won't turn on my street because I live in a cul-de-sac. Any suggesstions on how I fight the school board to get this changed. Also, my daughter has an IEP for speech and language, but the school district wants her to ride a "special mini-bus".

Not stopping for school bus while red lights flashing (New Jersey)? Has anyone gone through this situation in a 2 lane road when school bus stopped on the left lane with flash lights on and you passed through and the driver honked badly? What's the penalty if driver had noted down license plate? Do these school buses have cameras installed? Specific to New Jersey
What are the rules for the school bus on picking up children.? Hi I have a 5 year old who will be starting kindergarten in a week and the school has yet to determine whether or not it will come to our house or meet us down the street. We live on a cul-d-sac and there are no other kids on our street that will be riding the bus. The problem is the road we live off of is a dangerous road with hills and blind entrances. Does Illinois have a law that requires the bus to stop at a safer spot. I guess I always thought for the little guys the bus would come and stop in front of their house. The school he will be going to is not large at all, maybe 30 kids per grade which goes up to grade 3, so the amount of kids is not the issue and the bus has room to turn around on our road without backing up. Thanks in advance for the advice or help, a caring mom for Illinois.
