A few years ago, schools were scrambling to put white roof mounted strobes on every bus. Now, I'm not seeing them on some busses. Are they still required? Are they forgetting to turn them on?
Those questions asked, I always thought they were less than an ideal setup. Being high as they were in the middle of the bus. They were often not visable to drivers of lower vehicles, unless they were a fair distance away. Today's busses with roof vents. roof mounted air conditioners and rear air deflectors are even worse. Have thought they should have one on each end of the bus, front and back. My hats off to the bus mechanics who fabricated brackets to prevent lights from being wiped off by low hanging tree limbs.
