The other thing we noticed today with Yellow school buses is that they have a sign (and do) stop for a few seconds at EVERY railroad crossing, so be aware if you're approaching one even if the lights aren't flashing at the crossing the bus will stop (even if is not carrying children).

If you see traffic lights just flashing amber, you do not need to stop at these. It is just a warning that the lights are used at peak times only.
I was travelling up the 27 a few weeks ago when a person not used to the system, decided to brake and stop at the amber flashing lights at the Waverly Barn road junction. There were some screeching tyres (not only from me) and a few choice words as well.
They could have caused a nasty accident. Just be aware.
