As a bus driver unfamiliar with that area, someone directing traffic tossed a page of directions in my window telling me I had to move immediately. He had said that he was telling me to move when he was maybe 60 ft in front of me flashing a flashlight which meant nothing to me except for a flashing flashlight. I couldn't see him or a light in a circular motion telling me to move on, which I wouldn't have done anyway because I didn't know where I was going. Imagine this: first time on those particular Providence city streets at night, reading a page of directions while driving a full-size school bus. The first problem is obvious- one doesn't drive while reading, especially at night, never mind unfamiliar streets with a full-size school bus. Whoever thought of the solution to have a full page of directions (or maybe even half page which is more accurate) should have thought to provide an actual address to put into a GPS - which I had and which would have been doable. The second problem is the manners of the traffic director. He had no ability to solve my problem and no manners whatsoever. What he should have done was what I figured out 10 minutes later after blocking traffic for that long - ask a driver behind me who is heading in the same direction and knows the streets to go in front of me. During that 10 minutes the traffic director came back to my window several times, angrily insisting that I move. I had to call the police for an escort which they were unwilling to do before I thought of this. The person directing traffic should be reprimanded or let go for his ill manners and inability to solve the problem.
