A bus trap is like a cattel guard with wide space between the bars that will Trap a car.
Only vehicles like Buses & Trucks can pass over them.
In Calgary they are used in closed communities (closed to car traffic) to control people from using residential areas for cutting through, but allow Buses to service the area.

Thanks Dennis. That's just horrible bad luck. I know when I was young we did things similar, like putting quarters or rocks on the trolley and train tracks. I don't think I ever considered it would get shot back at me. I mean what are the odds?!!

If it lets a bus through, but stops a car, it musta been a boulder

Think of a trough that is too wide for car tires to pass on either side but ,a vehicle as wide as a truck or bus that can.
Now Going side to side in this trough are two/three 4"-6" pipes 30-36"" apart at strategic spots so the tires become trapped in between them.
The term bus trap is not a good but is used all the time, it's actually a "vehicle trap" meant for anything less than a heavy truck or bus.
I'll see if I can find a photo.
EDIT:
Here you go.
