Do the traffic laws not provide for "blinking red lights on a school bus mandates traffic to stop in both directions" and with extremely heavy penalties an no tolerance for violations? Here, the school buses leave those lights flashing while students unload and while they cross to the other side of the street.
That seems like it would allow school kids to cross the road much more safely than painted lines would.
No, we don't really have dedicated school buses here in that sense. They're just normal buses where we in remote areas make the time table sync up with when people go to/from school. (And you may still need to cross the road safely at other times)
