Where should students wait for the bus to ensure safety?

Students should wait at least six feet from the curb or edge of the road to ensure their safety while waiting for the bus. This distance helps to keep students away from potential hazards such as passing vehicles and reduces the risk of accidental injury. By maintaining this safe distance, students are less likely to dart into traffic, give drivers ample space to see them, and allow for a safer boarding process when the bus arrives.

The location of waiting, such as the bus stop sign or a nearby park, may not provide the necessary space from the road. Standing at the end of a driveway can also place students closer to the roadway than is considered safe. Therefore, waiting at least six feet from the curb aligns with safety guidelines designed to protect students as they wait for their bus transportation.
