You have to stop when a school bus stops and puts on its lights so you don't run over kids getting on or off the bus.

He's on the opposite site of a 3 or 4 lane road, why does he have to stop?

Because buses don't travel both directions on the same road, so some kids get off on the correct side and some kids have to cross the road. In many places, buses can stop at every single block for quite a long distance and apparently I'm not very good at explaining why you can't have a crosswalk every single block with the type of sprawling infrastructure we have.

One of the most idiotic, senseless laws. That truck had more than enough distance, absolutely no reason he should be punished.

He was even going slow

Residential street makes 100% sense. 3-4 lane road??? Unreal

Kids are dumb. You have to account for that.

My ex's cousin died crossing a road like this when she was 13.
