is on a mission to reduce vehicle "drive-arounds" at bus stops, making students safer. Our Patents Pending products is a simple solution to a rising problem - cars ignoring current stop arms and illegally passing stopped school buses putting students at risk.
BusGates® products offer a simple solution that easily retrofits to any existing stop sign on school buses. BusGates® stop arm extensions offer additional visibility with flashing LED lights and extend 5 feet from the bus to become a physical barrier making "drive-arounds" much harder.
As parents, we have watched our kids walk out that door 100s of times to head to school. Every single time all we hope for is that they make it to school and back home safe.
One day the kids were getting on the bus and we saw a car blow by the school bus stop sign like it wasn't even there. Immediately we thought...
this needs to be safer!
