Danger Zones around the bus

front bumper, 10 feet from the left and right sides of the bus and 10 feet behind the rear bumper.
Why should you properly adjust and use all mirrors
It's vital to the safe operation of the school bus in order to observe the danger zone around the bus
and look for students, traffic, and other objects in this area
Where are the mirrors mounted?
Left and right front corners of the bus and at the side or front of the windshield.
What are mirrors used for?
Monitoring traffic, checking clearances and students on the sides and to the rear of the bus
Where are blind spots on the bus?
Immediately below and in front of each mirror, and directly in back of the rear bumper.
blind spots behind the bus extends 5 to 150 feet and could extend up to 400 feet depending on the
length and width of the bus
Ensure the mirrors are properly adjusted so you can see:
200 feet or 4 bus lengths behind the bus
Along the sides of the bus
The rear tires touching the ground
Flat and convex mirrors
Located on the sides of the windshields. Flat is on top, and convex is on bottom.
Crossover mirrors
These are mounted on the left and right front corners of the bus. They're used to see the front
bumper "danger zone" area directly in front of the bus
Students are most likely to be killed while-
getting on or off a bus
Procedure for approaching a stop for a load/unload
- Approach cautiously at a slow rate of speed
- Activate amber warning lights 200 ft before stop
- Look for pedestrians, traffic, or other objects before, during, and after coming to a stop
, - Continuously check mirrors to monitor any danger
- Move as far as possible to the right on the traveled portion of the roadway
Procedure during a stop when loading/unloading
- Bring school bus to a full stop 10 feet from the students
- Secure the bus and the parking brake
- Activate alternating red lights
- Make a final check to see that all traffic has stopped before completely opening the door and
signaling students to approach
Loading procedure
- Perform a safe stop
- Students board the bus only when signaled by the driver
- Monitor all mirrors continuously
- Count the number of students at the bus stop and be sure all board the bus
- Have the students board slowly, in a single file line
- Wait until students are seated before moving
- Check all mirrors, make sure no one is running to check the bus
When all students are accounted for, prepare to leave by:
- Closing the door
- Engaging the transmission
- Releasing the parking brake
- Turning off alternating flashing red lights
- Turn on left turn signal
- Check all mirrors again
- Allow congested traffic to disperse
- When it is safe, move the bus to enter traffic flow and continue the route
If you missed a student's unloading stop, do you back up?
