School buses make frequent stops and typically travel at slower speeds. Be patient, slow down, and be prepared to stop for them.

School buses are required to stop at railroad crossings, by lawโso be prepared to stop at railroad crossings if driving behind a school bus.

โช๏ธWatch carefully for children near school buildings, in areas where school buses are traveling or where there are signs for school zones or bus stops.
โช๏ธWhen school is opening in the morning and closing in the afternoon, the area around the school is a very busy and crowded. There will be many children using the crosswalk. Car drivers, bikers and in-line skaters must stop to allow people in the crosswalk to cross the street.
โช๏ธSlow down. Watch for children walking in the street, especially if there are no sidewalks in the neighborhood.
โช๏ธBe alert. Children arriving late for the bus may dart into the street without looking for traffic.

โช๏ธLook carefully to the left, right, and left again if you have to cross the street. When school is opening in the morning and closing in the afternoon, the area around the school is very busy and crowded.
โช๏ธWhen you are waiting for the school bus, you should wait at the bus stop and stand well back from the curb.

โช๏ธLook to the rear of the bus before you step off the bottom step. Our friends at the Pupil Transportation Safety Institute tell us that more and more motorists are passing stopped school buses on the right shoulder - where the door is.
โช๏ธTake 5 giant steps straight out the bus door and out of the danger zone (areas around buses where the driver canโt see you).
โช๏ธMake sure you make eye contact with the driver and wait for the driver to signal you before you cross in front of the bus.
โช๏ธNever go back for anything you have left on the bus.
โช๏ธNever bend down near or under the bus.

Your bus driverโs number one interest is your safety, so it is important to listen to your bus driver in case there are any special instructions for your bus ride. Be sure to sit quietly in your seat and limit distractions.
