[edit] ...usually an S-shape curve or a bus stop...

The article indicates that a chicane is "usually an S-shape curve or a bus stop". What precisely is a bus stop chicane? The most famous one I know of is at Spa-Francorchamps. I had always just assumed that there had once been an actual bus stop at that chicane, since Spa runs (ran?) on public roads. I guessed that other "bus stop chicanes" were named either in honour of the Belgian one or due to their similarity to it. Can anyone shed more light on this? Pburka 03:00, 8 August 2006 (UTC)
