They are a safety measure.
They keep the lights on all the time here, regardless of the conditions. |

When they are flashing it means the bus has been Hijacked.

It's for the children.
Just because of the fact that buses are so huge does not mean idiots won't broadside them. Especially in poor visibility. |

The blinking light tells Chuck Norris not to roundhouse kick the buses. Large yellow objects diplease Chuck.

Interestingly enough, of the two I saw, one was a large bus, and the other was like a Chevy Express with a van body on back. So it must be for safety-regardless of the size. |

If you can see the bus, and you can see the overhead lights, then why extra lights when you don't need them, unless you're in some heavy fog. |

Not that I saw. One passed in the opposite direction, and another was in front... |

Never underestimate the brain-deadness of the average driver. In high school, my brother had a 1966 Mustang painted day-glo blue. It hurt to look at the damn thing. He got run of the road by a guy who said, "I didn't see him." The cop shot back, "Are you f***ing blind?" |

I recall an article about the strobes that was related to a bus that left the road and went into a pond. The bus wasn't visible as it was underwater and someone did a study that said strobes in water-tight enclosures would be an acceptable method of locating buses in all inclement weather conditions including ponds due to the light dispersion capabilities. Not too sure on the overall validity of the theory but I'll say in poor weather like fog or night, they are quite visible.

Makes a lot of sense...since buses do double duty with extra-curriculars (ie sports) or even at night when they are running routes this time of year in the dark(with no Daylight Savings time) |
