This is a joke. Do not steal or vandalize speed enforcement cameras (or anything else for that matter). That’s against the law and you will likely get arrested.

If you’re addicted to crack or any other drugs, please seek professional help.

    You have one bus going in one direction to a school passing another bus going to another school.

    Have you only lived in an inner city where roads can be one way because they alternate in direction every block?

    Also why do you need buses in the first place why aren’t the kids walking or biking.

    ??? If that’s your solution then why is there a road to begin with? Just ban cars. Simple.

        Are your schools connected directly to highways or something?

        Roads are typically 2 lanes one in each direction. You already know this because you said a solution would be to remove the lane marker.

        So you have a road with an elementary school, and 2 miles further down is a middle school. Even without that you have buses passing each other during pickup because busses only pickup kids on one side of the street so you don’t have young kids crossing roads. So one bus runs in one direction down a road picking up kids direction down the road.

        We don’t have blocks.

        What do you call a section of inner city bounded on all sides by a road in your country?

            Why can’t kids walk 500m to the next bus stop? Why are streets so unsafe so that kids can’t cross them?

            I suggested banning cars.

            “We don’t have blocks”

            Straßenblock

            THAT TRANSLATES TO STREET BLOCK!

            A block in the US doesn’t mean a square either.

            I already suggested, “Just ban cars. Easy.”

            It is required that children do not cross two lane roads to be picked up by school buses. I don’t make the rules. I don’t have a solution to US car culture. But making roads unpassable by school buses isn’t an answer.

                The op picture is a rural US school. Bringing up how things are done in the city center of Hamburg is rather irrelevant. New York City children take the subway to school.

                I already said I don’t have a solution to US car culture. I only took issue with the ridiculous idea that the roads in front of rural US schools could be made safer by making them impassable by busses.

                    I brought up blocks because the poster attempted to reframe the argument from a rural US school into a city center where one way streets are possible. I pointed out that this wasn’t applicable. It was not an inner city with blocks. One way streets are not a possible solution for this rural US school.

                    Wide enough for one pickup and no opposing traffic, but so narrow that two pickups are going to really have to negotiate to move around each other."

                    When you replied to me, this is what you were replying to.

                    That quote was the only point I am trying to address. I stated that a road that did not allow two small pickup trucks to pass would not be wide enough for two school busses to pass each other.

                    That’s it.
