Where are students required to cross the roadway after exiting a bus?

Students are required to cross the roadway in front of the bus, as this allows them to see the bus driver and ensures they are visible to the driver. When students cross in front of the bus, they enter the driver's line of sight, which significantly reduces the risk of an accident. It is also a safer practice because students can then check for oncoming traffic before proceeding across the street.

Crossing behind the bus can create blind spots, making it more difficult for the driver to see the students and increasing the chance of a collision. Crossing in the middle of the road, or on the side of the road, does not offer the same level of visibility and awareness for both the students and the drivers. Therefore, crossing in front of the bus, while ensuring it is safe to do so, is the most effective way to promote student safety when exiting the bus.
