MCPS Board of Ed Forces Student to Cross Six Lanes of Traffic. 6 cars and a RIDE ON BUS Pass Stopped Bus. Camera Will Not Protect Children when Bus Stops are Extremely Dangerous.
This video released by Montgomery County Police. While the video is supposed to show how drivers ignore stopped school buses, what it also shows is that MCPS is putting students in extreme danger by forcing them to cross to the opposite side of roads for their bus stop. In the past, MCPS did not allow these types of bus stops. Clearly, the Board of Education has decided that safety is not a priority. Instead of keeping children safe by making sure children never have to cross 6 lanes of traffic to get home, the Board of Education has chosen to simply video these inherently dangerous bus stops, as if a video can correct irresponsible behavior by adults.

H0w about Rte 118 and Middlebrook and WIsteria? Students must cross 9 lanes of traffic twice a day to walk to Seneca Valley High School. WOULD LOVE TO have a video of these intersections. Students arrive at this corner at 2:35 PM ..and approx 60-80 students cross here. It is a nightmare. No place to wait in the heat and the cold. You must wait 2 1/2 mins if you just miss the cross signal. This is a nightmare. I have volunteered since 2013 but cannot be there in the morning and of course, some afternoons. This must be seen to be believed !
