Where should students walk to after exiting the bus?

After exiting the bus, students should walk at least 10 feet away from the bus. This distance is important for several reasons. First, it ensures that students are out of the driver's blind spots, allowing the driver to see them clearly and reducing the risk of accidents. When students walk this distance from the bus, they are also moving away from any potential hazards associated with the bus, such as moving parts or the bus itself inadvertently rolling.

Walking close to the bus or in areas where the driver cannot see them can increase the danger of stepping into traffic or being in a position where the driver cannot respond to their presence. Similarly, going to the front of the bus does not sufficiently ensure safety because students may still not be in the driver's line of sight. Therefore, maintaining a safe distance of at least 10 feet solidifies their safety as they exit the bus.
