City Schools of Decatur will soon become the twelfth school district in Georgia, US, to deploy 17 American Traffic Solutions’ (ATS) CrossingGuard technology to help school districts address the growing problem of illegal passing of school buses that are stopped and boarding or disembarking children.

CrossingGuard is a completely automated, turnkey system which uses external cameras capture an image of a vehicle’s license plate and a brief video clip of the entire violation event.

According to ATS, to date, more than 99 per cent of the drivers who have received a school bus stop arm violation from a CrossingGuard camera, have not received a second. ATS says this high rate of compliance indicates a positive change in driver behaviour.
