With increased traffic there needs to come increased awareness from all who share the road.
Safety Tips For Students
- When waiting for the bus, wait in the designated area only. Make sure to stay clear away from the street so the bus has plenty of room. Mirrors and other parts may surpass the dimensions of the vehicle and can easily strike a bystander.
- When entering and exiting the bus, ALWAYS cross in FRONT of the driver. All buses are equipped with rear stop sign to impede traffic behind from passing. With that being said, look both ways.
- Never hang out of a window or throw anything from it. The smallest object could cause a catastrophic accident on the road.
