As a person who rode school buses for almost all of my grade school and high school career and then watched my children and grandchildren ride the buses, I applaud the decision I just heard about which allows extendable stop arms on school buses.  I'm not sure how far out these stop signs will extend but I like to imagine them stretching all across the next lane of traffic (and being steel reinforced). That's probably not exactly what they have in mind but it might get some drivers' attention, maybe after they smack into the stop sign.  I know that some buses now have cameras so they have proof of who blew past the bus.  These measures may encourage more drivers to stop for school buses.  Unless of course they're texting while they drive.
