And I read it as the opposite. There's so many freedoms that people feel at liberty to take more whenever they feel like it.
What's that saying "Unlimited power brings unlimited corruption and stupidity".
There is a blind hill. Look at my photos again (last one).
I could look the other way if it was just a car or two, but these are buses packed with KIDS. The reality is laziness rules.
There is also a proximity to an intersection requirement. But what else would you expect from a state where it is illegal to whistle under water ...
As a single citizen, you see you have little pull about fixing this as the police don't seem to care. What really has to happen is the bus drivers do something. Like pull up behind the cars and block the road in that direction until the parked cars move. That would finally get some attention. Piss off everyone on the road and that gets media attention and the crap start to trickle down.
I don't see the YMCA liable as they are just a place that the parents are going to/from and are not condoning the practice.

Film the buses/situation, send that video to the police department, transportation department, mayor, and the media. All at the same time.
Thought about capturing it in video and posting it on YouTube. I like your idea better.
I blame it on "every one gets a trophy, political correctness, liberal attitudes, I am special I have a good enough reason.
If you send the evidence to every one at the same time, and cc all of this so every one knows that every one is watching and waiting for a response.... expect a lot of finger pointing.
better way to pick the kids up, so as not to block the street. They could widen the shoulder to accomodate a lane to wait in allowing thru traffic claer access jmo
Amazing, Rip Van Winkle still lives. To bring you up to speed during your long sleep, ol' Rip, that law was repealed in 1995.
The National Maximum Speed Law (NMSL) in the United States was a provision of the 1974 Emergency Highway Energy Conservation Act that prohibited speed limits higher than 55 miles per hour (89 km/h). . . . The NMSL was modified in 1987 and 1988 to allow up to 65 mph (105 km/h) limits on certain limited access, rural roads. Congress repealed the NMSL in 1995, fully returning speed limit setting authority to the states.
I'm betting that nothing will happen until someone is killed or seriously injured and it results in a multimillion dollar lawsuit. That seems to be the only thing gets most people off their butts these days.
If by freedoms and liberties you include constitutional rights, the US has not given them to its citizens. In the USA, we accept that such rights are not given by government, but that all people are inherently endowed with those rights without any act of government.
"We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.--That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed,
--That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness."
Driving an automobile is not a right, it is a privilege that is extended to those who qualify by satisfying certain legal requirements. It is a privilege that can be revoked if a driver violates those requirements.
Schools generally lack the legal authority to do what you suggest. That authority rests with the political entity that owns the roads.
A few years back, I took an adult ed course at a public school. We were warned about how bad the boys bathroom was. I saw it and it was a disgrace and has been for a couple of years.
A letter to the editor was all it took. Evidently, the superintendent of schools reads the morning paper and repairs were started that day.

the staff in one of those places who would love to publicize the refusal of the YMCA and the police department to do anything about it.
A note to the state legislator(s) for your district, and your city councilman or alderman or whatever you have there, might also produce some results.
