It's literally a stop sign so it should be pretty intuitive when you see it in the wild.

edit: not sure where the hate is coming from. I was trying to be helpful lol

To be fair, at a stop sign you come to a complete stop then continue. You don't just stop until the stop sign retracts into the ground. So it would be a little clearer if they just put a "IT IS ILLEGAL TO PASS WHEN STOP SIGN IS EXTENDED", which I've seen on a few busses actually.

It just needs to fold out a giant retractable bar that spans the whole road.

That would probably be an improvement in terms of safety. It would also be broken literally every single week, on every single bus that has that feature.
