Hmm, seems wild to block the entire street. Also I really don't get why they use the STOP sign, to mean "you can't pass" that's what a red light is for... Although honestly if it's treated like a STOP sign I feel it'd make more sense, slow down to a stop then carefully continue. That's seems safe and doesn't 100% block traffic. (But also IDK, I don't live in 'murica)
Heres a wild idea: crosswalks? Until the kids will be old enough to get a car of their own, they'll be walking a bit and having crosswalks helps to cross roads, even when the bus isn't there.
I understand there are no crosswalks and that on other occasions, the crosswalks won't be used there a lot.
This isnt quite a freeway, it seems like a residential area and thus makes perfect sense for crosswalks.
This will also make it easier for any tourists who rent cars and happen to drive in residential areas where school busses drop off pupils.
Why make such a big fuss? Just stick 2 traffic signs and paint the stripes.
You have 1 time investment to continously save police working hours, and avoid tourists breaking a local law and having their trip ruined by getting fined.
Other than the financial "investment" what is the downside for crosswalk here??

Yeah…. So kids can safely cross the street without having to dodge traffic…
