How should the danger zones be approached by students?

Students should approach the danger zones with caution and awareness because these areas, typically located around the front, back, and sides of the school bus, present the highest risk for accidents. Being cautious allows students to be alert to their surroundings, ensuring they can spot potential hazards such as other vehicles or pedestrians. Awareness of these zones is crucial because many drivers may not see students who are too close to the bus, and students themselves may not recognize the dangers of moving near or around the bus. Safe behavior in these zones minimizes the risk of injury and helps reinforce the importance of bus safety protocols.

Approaching danger zones at full speed, running quickly, or trying to move only when the bus is in motion would significantly compromise safety, increasing the likelihood of accidents. It is essential for students to understand that safety requires a careful and measured approach, particularly in areas where visibility and awareness are critical.
