  1.10  D school bus or Head Start bus according to this section. 
  1.11     A cul-de-sac designated as a school bus stop or Head Start 
  1.12  bus stop must be so designed and constructed as to enable the 
  1.13  bus to enter, turn, and exit the cul-de-sac without the driver 
  1.14  being required to operate the bus in reverse. 
  1.15     The road authority shall post appropriate signs prohibiting 
  1.16  vehicles from parking in the cul-de-sac, if necessary, to enable
