City Bylaw 5590 does not allow school buses to use stop arms and flasher in Edmonton. It states:
A person operating a school bus shall not activate alternately flashing lights or the stop arm on a highway unless the highway is one designated as permitting this activity.
“Highway” means any thoroughfare, street, road, trail, avenue, parkway, viaduct, lane, alley, square, bridge, causeway, trestleway or other place, whether publicly or privately owned, any part of which the public is ordinarily entitled or permitted to use for the passage or parking of vehicles.
