Students should: Always arrive at the bus stop early. Prior to boarding, wait until the bus has come to a complete stop, the door opens, and the bus driver says that its OK to board. Always walk on the sidewalk when preparing to cross the street near a bus. Make eye contact with the driver so that you are sure he or she sees you. Never walk behind the bus. If you are walking beside the bus, walk at least three giant steps away. Take extra precaution to make sure that clothing with drawstrings and book bags do not get caught in the hand rail or the door. Never stop to pick something up that you have dropped when a bus is stopped. Wait until the bus has driven off to avoid not being seen by the driver. Motorists should: Remember that children are unpredictable in their actions. Take extreme caution when traveling in a school zone. If there are no sidewalks, drive cautiously. Be more alert to the possibility of children walking in the road. Be more aware of children playing near school bus stops. d.
