Since a couple of people have said basically the same thing, I did mean 
road and not highway when I said that.  Usually two lanes on either side, 
an 8"-curb island in the middle, and a max speed of between 30 and 40mph.  
I wouldn't expect buses to stop on most of the divided highways we have 
where I grew up, as there usually weren't too many people living alongside 
of them.  From your reactions, this isn't the case in parts of the States.  
Or am I describing the same type of road you mean?
