Louisiana law is contradictory regarding such streets- one law says you have to stop, whereas another says that such streets are to be treated as a median divided highway, which would mean you would not have to stop for a bus going the opposite direction.

The driver of a vehicle upon a highway with separate roadways need not stop upon meeting or passing a school bus which is on a different roadway or when upon a controlled access highway and the school bus is stopped in a loading zone which is a part of or adjacent to such highway and where pedestrians are not permitted to cross the roadway.

My fine was $300 and out of that, the police and school board were getting $50. The rest went to the company that owned and operated the cameras- what a bunch of BS.

Dude, the cops don't have time to give us tickets for that. They are needed on the front line catching those seat belt violators with expired inspection stickers...
