  I specifically quoted the part about making the road in front of a school so narrow a pickup truck would have trouble.

  If it’s too small and narrow for a pickup truck, how are school busses supposed to function?

    Then let me specify:

    Wide enough for one pickup and no opposing traffic, but so narrow that two pickups are going to really have to negotiate to move around each other.

      Schools have more than one bus and they have to pass each other. There are also school buses for the other nearby schools like the middle school and high school running at the same time even when school starts times are offset because it takes time to reach the different routes and arrive exactly on time.

        No they don’t they can enter from the same side. You’re just looking for excuses. Also why do you need buses in the first place why aren’t the kids walking or biking.

      Yup, if a school bus is coming then everyone going the other way better slow down and watch out!

      It’s about not making it fit “comfortably”, not that it can’t fit at all. Drivers who feel uncomfortable naturally slow down and pay more attention.
