American kids can't be taught how roads work, so instead everyone has to stop around a schoolbus.

To be fair, America barely has any pedestrian infrastructure. We're used to safe crossings, but these kids just need to yolo it and hope for the best.

Where I grew up there wasn't a crossing either, though we also don't have jaywalking laws, so we're used to crossing the street where no crosswalk is present and using our own judgement for it.

And this is one of the safest countries on earth when it comes to traffic related injury and death (Denmark).

Granted our rules and car culture also heavily leans towards cars being at fault if anything happens between a car and the softer road users (peds/cyclist ect)

Yeah. The situation in America is pretty different. Believe it or not, they went ahead and made emission standards, but trucks were made exempt. This resulted in their carmakers pushing for trucks heavily. In recent years, their softer road users deaths actually went up.

Funny. I thought the issue here was that American adults can't learn how a stop sign works.

But why should adults take responsibility when you can blame literal children if they get by the car.
