SAFETY GUIDELINES
*According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA)
Proximity of Stop
A bus stop should not be located at an intersection. Especially on a roadway with a speed limit greater than 35 mph, the bus stop should be located at least 100 to 200 feet from an intersection. When stops are located too close to intersections, then vehicles turning from the cross streets do not have time to respond quickly and safely. To avoid confusion on the part of nearby motorists, particularly those turning onto a street where a bus will stop, school bus stops should not be located at intersections, especially on roads with speeds greater than 35 mph.
