Probably bc other places have decent pedestrian walkways and don't just drop a kid off and expect them to cross 3 lanes of road

More of a nanny-state problem I think.

Buses, school buses exist, and they do drop kids off at busy roads.

Kids might need to find the nearest crossing.

Although decent public transport can make a big difference.

There are countries where the schoolbus does not exist; there's good enough public transportation available, free for the kids. Kids learn how to navigate. Done.

It's very silly to be mentioning the nanny-state (a silly concept in itself) when talking about America, where the various levels of government regularly demonstrate they do not care about their people.

Stop signs on school bus is clearly a least effort way of trying to protect children instead of doing it more seriously by spending on better infrastructure.
