From the Highway Traffic Act of Manitoba (Canada) <br />"regulated school bus" means a school bus with a seating capacity of more than 10 including the driver; <br /> <br />Stops by certain vehicles at railways <br /> <br />135(1) Except as provided in subsections (3) and (4), the driver of <br /> <br />(a) a vehicle carrying passengers for compensation; or <br /> <br />(b) a school bus carrying children; or <br /> <br />(c) a vehicle carrying flammable liquids or gas, whether or not it is then empty; <br /> <br />approaching a railway crossing shall stop the vehicle not less than 5 metres, or more than 15 metres, from the nearest rail of the railway, and, with the vehicle stopped, shall <br /> <br />(d) look in both directions along the railway for an approaching train; <br /> <br />(e) listen for signals indicating the approach of a train; and <br /> <br />(f) in the case of a bus or school bus, open the door of the vehicle; <br /> <br />and he shall not proceed unless he can do so in safety. <br /> <br />How's that for too much info.
