Why do school buses stop at railroad crossings?
1. It is the law that they have to stop at all railroad crossings.
2. If the school bus got hit by a train it would be devestating with a bus full of kids.
3. Would you want to get hit by a 50 mph train that will not be able to stop for over 1/2 mile?
4. Go to http:/www.oli.org and look at Operation Lifesavers website. It will give you all the answers.
*In School House Rock, "How a Bill Becomes a Law," this law was used as an example.*

∙ 14y agoThe driver opens the door to listen for trains. Not all crossings have a clear view in both directions, e.g. the tracks may curve near the point of crossing.
Except for crossings marked "exempt" (which would mean the tracks are no longer in use), bus drivers are required to stop at all tracks, open the door, listen for trains, and look both ways before proceeding.
