BusGates®
is on a mission to reduce vehicle "drive-around" at bus stops and make every bus stop safer for students. Our Patents Pending Bus Gate products are a simple solution to a major problem. The problem is that too often cars completely ignore the school bus stop signs and drive around them putting students at risk. BusGates® offers a simple solution that easily retrofits the existing stop sign(s) on school buses. The Bus Gate offers additional visibility and sticks out further from the bus to make "drive-arounds" much harder.
