They do lots of this "public advertising" about passing a school bus but answer me this,
If we teach all our kids about seatbelt safety, how come we don't have belts on the bus? Some will argue that buses don't usually travel very fast, but even still it doesn't reinforce kids to buckle up, and there are still lots of people who drive that don't buckle up.
On topic tho, i've seen some buses use those retractible arms, similar to those at railway crossings. I find that these are the best but not good enough. They should be made of thick steel and also have a spike strip that lays across the road when down. That way, if some hotshot in his convertible Beamer goes by, he'll either lose his head or at least have his tired slashed.
