That seems to be the case in the US. In Europe they are written as you'd read them, so top to bottom. You'll see STOP BUS. BUS STOP

Which looking at it on page makes total sense right?
But while driving it doesn't. It reads opposite. Yet it doesn't mean that a bus needs to stop there. It's a place for the bus to stop, should it drop off passengers, and / or there are people waiting to get on.
But since you're driving you read bottom to top and you'll see STOP BUS.
In the US they're smarter, and you'll see
STOP
BUS

PS What do you think of my car's spoiler?
- iggldiggl 4y ago> In the US they're smarter While I get the logic of that idea, in practice at least for shorter texts that e.g. fit on two or maybe even three lines you're often/usually? still able to read the whole thing in one go and in the regular top-to-bottom order, so now you're wondering what a "Lane Fire" is supposed to be.
- WirelessGigabit 4y agoAbsolutely, definitely at lower speeds. But that's the thing. When you're driving there should be consistency. You get behind the wheel, you read the way things com to you (or you go towards them).
