So I don't have to yield to emergency lights, but I gotta let some snot-nosed kid wander off the bus with his face in a phone???

As for the snot-nosed kids, our school busses stop at every single house and leave the lights flashing for five minutes waiting for each kid to stumble out of their house and out to the curb. Heaven forbid that they get hypothermia standing at the curb for a few minutes on a frigid 45 F morning! This belongs more in the old farts thread, but my school bus stop back in the day was a five block walk from our house. If nobody was standing there to be picked up, the bus driver wouldn't even slow down as they passed! Then, there was the humiliation of having to walk five blocks home, and ask your parents to drive you to school because you were not responsible enough to make it to the bus stop on time...and then having all of the kids who were on the bus laughing at you getting out of mommy's car when you finally got to the school.....

Oh, and most of the school busses around here are equipped with cameras specifically to catch drivers passing them while flashing red so that tickets can be mailed.....

I'm pretty sure we're in agreement. I may have misunderstood your initial response.

Did the rules change: I see SO many vehicles parked on the corner of residential streets.

….much in the same way the violation of parking too close to [or in front of a fire hydrant] isn't really enforced much. |

And as long as I put my hazard lights on, I can park any-freaking-where I decide is convenient, right? Middle of the street, handicapped, fire hydrant, red lines of the no parking zone. . .

Haha! It sounds like somebody agitated the bull. Is this occurring in your neighborhood regularly?

Pretty much every Uber driver seems to do this now. Recent example: across from a large supermarket by UCLA, at least 10 cars lined up in the median/turn lane with their flashers on, nobody in the car, blocking traffic, not a cop or parking enforcement in sight (yet, I'll get a parking ticket + no front plate ticket within 30 seconds after my meter expires (in both Los Angeles city and Beverly Hills city). Go figure…

I get it's LA / Cali, but that seems to be rather annoying.
I am still amazed by the number of vehicles (personal, driveshare etc) that line up along the airport roads with impunity. I get that there's a cost to going into a paid parking lot that hits the bottom line, but even where there are free parking lots, people seem to not want to use them. Sedan_Clan: Can you explain that difference between subsections on where one has to legally stop for a school bus in the opposite direction please? I've read it a couple of times, but I can't seem to get the nuance - what makes one divided road different than another? |

I'll try to explain with photos. Here are two different school zone areas: one where there is no/very little and/or inconsistent delineation and one with a raised concrete center median. That center median is a division. Last edited by Sedan_Clan; 03-14-2022 at 03:16 PM.. |

Thank you.
If I'm deciphering it correctly, E. Temple Av (bottom pic) has the median? |
