Crosswalk Safety Around Bus Stops

Crosswalks near bus stops increase predictability for drivers. A student crossing at a designated path is easier to anticipate than one moving unpredictably.

Even with crosswalks, visibility challenges persist. Shade, parked vehicles, or uneven terrain can create blind spots.

Using reflective markings and lighting can make students more immediately recognizable. Some districts integrate under-bus lighting or illuminated crosswalks to provide clear visual cues, enhancing driver reaction time.
