Bus Safety
Please remember these safety guidelines:
- The DANGER ZONE is the area immediately surrounding the school bus, extending 10 feet in front, behind, and 10 feet from the sides. The zone of most significant danger is immediately in front of the front bumper and right wheel.
- Leave home ON TIME to ARRIVE AT THE BUS STOP 10 MINUTES before THE ARRIVAL.
- Running to the stop is dangerous, so NEVER RUN TO CATCH THE BUS.
- If you can touch the bus, you are TOO CLOSE.
- If you can't see the driver as you cross the street in front of the bus, you are TOO CLOSE.
- Always cross at least 10 feet in front of the bus.
- Wait for the driver's direction before crossing in front of the bus.
- Look both ways for traffic before crossing the street, and NEVER stop to pick up anything that falls in front of the bus bumper or wheels.
