Scruit Posted September 15, 2011 Author Report Share Posted September 15, 2011 What is there to discuss? What part of not endangering children do you not understand? I've seen some idiotic things recently but this takes the cake. So you'd ticket me for this, huh? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Casper Posted September 15, 2011 Report Share Posted September 15, 2011 What is there to discuss? What part of not endangering children do you not understand? I've seen some idiotic things recently but this takes the cake. It's not a divided highway, it doesn't matter if there are 4 lanes. RidiculousWhere a highway has been divided into four or more traffic lanes, a driver of a vehicle, streetcar, or trackless trolley need not stop for a school bus approaching from the opposite direction which has stopped for the purpose of receiving or discharging any school childAn apology might be in order here. Hope you've never issued a ticket for this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jblosser Posted September 15, 2011 Report Share Posted September 15, 2011 ORC § 4511.75 Stopping for stopped school bus....© Where a highway has been divided into four or more traffic lanes, a driver of a vehicle, streetcar, or trackless trolley need not stop for a school bus approaching from the opposite direction which has stopped for the purpose of receiving or discharging any school child, persons attending programs offered by community boards of mental health and county boards of mental retardation and developmental disabilities, or children attending programs offered by head start agencies. The driver of any vehicle, streetcar, or trackless trolley overtaking the school bus shall comply with division (A) of this section.I am a police officer at the Millersburg PD...Millersburg PD330-674-5931What is there to discuss? What part of not endangering children do you not understand? I've seen some idiotic things recently but this takes the cake. It's not a divided highway, it doesn't matter if there are 4 lanes. Ridiculous***edit: I had something snarky to put in here as a comment to the above, but the thinking side of my brain has decreed that I should stand down with the snarky comments. For now.I wouldn't have stopped. Most people who do stop would probably rather be safe than sorry. A little extra time taken out of your day is much better than hitting a kid.^^^ this. What is it, a minute out of your life? No big deal in the grand scheme of things.That being said, OP did nothing wrong. He even slowed slightly.

DreamNofR1 Posted September 15, 2011 Report Share Posted September 15, 2011 I would have stopped since I had no idea about that 4 lane rule. Well hell, you learn something new everyday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sixgun Posted September 15, 2011 Report Share Posted September 15, 2011 It looks like the yellow "caution I'm stopping" lights are on, but the red lights on the stop sign are not as far as I can tell. It looks like the stop sign isn't even out yet.The school buses down here have the yellow and the red. Just like traffic lights. The yellow typically mean they are preparing to stop, the red mean they have stopped and are burpping out kids. But always up for an education.

Scruit Posted September 15, 2011 Author Report Share Posted September 15, 2011 The lights were flashing red and the stop sign was extended and flashing red. If they appear yellow in the video then it's a camera glitch or lens artifact. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sixgun Posted September 15, 2011 Report Share Posted September 15, 2011 Should have said amber instead of yellow. Thought I'd put that out there before the morality cops/ know it all's pointed it out. The tone of this thread would have been better if the question was "Did I screw up?" vs. "FU I'm a lawless child endangerer" He asked an opinion and boy did he get some.

Sixgun Posted September 15, 2011 Report Share Posted September 15, 2011 It's still a four lane highway and does not require a stop. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sixgun Posted September 15, 2011 Report Share Posted September 15, 2011 I enlarged the picture and it shows the light also flashing red on the stop sign just as he looked at it in passing (judgement call by the observing officer). But the road is still divided into for lanes, does not specify the road must be divided by a median strip.It still going to be a judgement call. Brotherlaw is an LT at the OHP academy (I know most everyone hates on those guys here). I can let him view it and give another opinion, but that's just what it would be.

Beegreenstrings Posted September 15, 2011 Report Share Posted September 15, 2011 Why so upset? It is a 4 lane. A public school bus CANNOT in the state of Ohio (or any other state) make kids cross a 4 lane highway!I do it all the time. If you were heading the other way it would be a different story. But, no you do not have to stop in this situation. I get F'in irritated by those that do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brotherlaw is an LT at the OHP academy (I know most everyone hates on those guys here). I can let him view it and give another opinion, but that's just what it would be.4 lane road. The law says you don't have to stop for a bus traveling in the other direction. There's nothing for your brother-in-law or anyone else to interpret.

Sixgun Posted September 15, 2011 Report Share Posted September 15, 2011 Judgement for those forgetting the part about four lane road. My point was you do not need to stop for the "Amber lights", and whether the reds were on before he could have safely stopped for the reds.

SpeedTriple44444 Posted September 15, 2011 Report Share Posted September 15, 2011 4 lane road- not required to stop unless you're moving in the same direction. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sixgun Posted September 15, 2011 Report Share Posted September 15, 2011 the driver forgetting to turn lights on will not stop you from getting a ticket.Don't drive by any Highschools Friday night...you may be there for 3 or 4 hours...Judgement call.

C-bus Posted September 15, 2011 Report Share Posted September 15, 2011 1) isn't BB an LEO?2) if you're not required to stop, please don't. Most 4-lanes are 45 MPH or faster. If you stop and I'm not prepared to, you have caused an accident. Please don't be polite and stop when you don't have to. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
