Legal Question in Traffic Law in New Jersey

There is no specific law in New Jersey that dictates the determination of a school bus stop. The New Jersey Administrative code 6A:27, sets forth some requirements including the training of school bus drivers. If the training is properly administered, using the vast amount of materials published by the various agencies and trade groups, the selection of a school bus stop is a detailed process using specific guidelines. In essence, it would be improper to have a bus stop without an evaluation of the safety of the stop. No bus driver, let alone a parent should be making that determination. That evaluation should be made by the trained transportation supervisor using well published criteria. Tell the parents to put the request in writing to the transportation supervisor.
