How far from the roadway should students wait for the school bus?

Students should wait for the school bus at least 10 feet away from the roadway. This distance is crucial for ensuring their safety while waiting for the bus, as it helps to reduce the risk of accidents. Being 10 feet from the edge of the road provides a buffer zone, allowing children to avoid potential hazards such as passing vehicles and creates a clear space for bus drivers to navigate. It's important for children to be adequately distanced from the roadway to maintain visibility and safety while waiting for the bus to arrive or for them to board. Guidance often emphasizes this distance to instill safe behaviors among students regarding transport safety.
