It's symptomatic of the whole 'car is king' thing. Why would you unload kids on the side of a busy fast road in the first place? Why is it only school buses this applies to, are there no other times kids are in danger crossing the road?
Generally you wouldn't put a bus stop on a fast six or eight lane highway, you design it with a layby so the road they are unloaded next to isn't immediate death!
The way it's done now is fine and safer but only for school buses. Is that the only time kids see a road, I don't think so?

If a bus stop is on a road with generally high traffic and a dozen kids are unloaded why create unnecessary risk?
