Watch for children playing and congregating near bus stops. Children arriving late for the bus may dart into the street without looking for traffic. Learn and obey the school bus laws in your state. Motorists should slow down and prepare to stop their vehicles. Motorists must stop their cars and wait until the red lights stop flashing, the extended stop sign is withdrawn, and the bus begins moving before they can start driving again.
Children Get to the bus stop at least five minutes before the bus is scheduled to arrive.
Wait until the bus stops, the door opens, and the driver says that it's okay before stepping onto the bus. Be sure that the bus driver can see you, and you can see the bus driver. Use the handrails to avoid falls. When exiting the bus, be careful that clothing with drawstrings, and book bags with straps don t get caught in the handrails or doors. Never walk behind the bus.
