A safe and enjoyable ride from school is a cooperative effort involving students, parents, bus drivers, school administration, several agencies and every motorist sharing the road with the school bus. It's the most dangerous part of a bus trip. Pupils shall wait for their bus in an orderly manner and be on time. Pupils shall board and leave the bus in a single file and look both ways before leaving the bus. Pupils shall not be moving while the bus is in motion.
Pupils are to remain quiet and orderly and follow the instructions of the driver.
Pupils who must cross the street should cross ten feet in front of the bus and wait to be signaled by the driver. Motorists - Anywhere in New York State, including school property, when the red lights of a school bus flash, you must stop your vehicle before reaching the bus. This is the law. Amber colored warning lights are used by a school bus driver before stopping to warn other traffic of his intentions to stop and load, or unload students. 1998,1999 by Jerry Cammarata.
