Driver(S) then because 3 different busses stop there every day. Then bus makes a left turn and stops a block away at the NEXT 4 Way Stop :!:

And it's more than one bus company so I'm going to call both of them tomorrow.

I agree with you on that point, Mississauga has no shortage of confused drivers. If you're sitting at the stop sign ready to make your left you can clearly see the red lights flashing and arm out. I'm not sure why you would go ahead and make the left turn. Unless you did not get your DL in Canada perhaps. (shrug) Thats the problem. The bus should not be so close to the intersection. I can't see the fault of making a left turn, but if this is something that is always happening, maybe its not entirely the drivers here to blame. Maybe its something wrong with how this bus stops in such a place, c...

Just to confirm, the silver Honda drove right through the stop sign of the bus after making the turn. This was today at 3:15pm. I took the photo myself. This goes on all the time at this bus stop/intersection.

A bus drops at 11:30am then 3:15 and then another at 3:21 every day same bust stop x 4 years.

The car did not stop, it passed the bus after making the turn. Notice no brake lights on. This happens all the time. If you're sitting at the stop sign ready to make your left you can clearly see the red lights flashing and arm out. I'm not sure why you would go ahead and make the left turn. Unless you did not get your DL in Canada perhaps. (shrug) The first picture shows a car making a left turn. The problem with this picture is not what that car is doing, because every car would do the same thing. As the car did stop when faced with the bus's stop sign, you can not expect a car from not maki...

The red car is going west, this is OK as per the Police I spoke to but NOT ok as per the lady at the School Bus Company.

Well I called PRPD and had a nice chat with an officer and he pretty much told me the east/west do not have to wait for the bus and that her flashing lights do no stop traffic in all directions.

Now on to the next issue of the cars not letting the kids cross the street when they should have the right of way.

School Bus lets my kids out at a 4 way stop sign

so my kids are let out right at a 4 way stop.
the bus is facing north.
when she has her lights on do the east west cars have to stay stopped?
of course the north south do or they would be passing the bus.

The kids are trying to cross the street but the east west cars don't seem to care.

I called the bus company and was told that at a 4 way stop ALL CARS MUST STAY STOP when the bus has her lights flashing and arm out.

I know if I ask this to 3 different cops I'll get 3 different answers.

thanks
