A clear line-of-sight is critical for safety, yet even open streets can present hidden hazards. Bushes, signage, or parked cars can obscure students at the edge of view.
Enhancing driver line-of-sight is most effective when paired with student visibility measures. Reflective gear, high-contrast backpacks, or small lighting systems can ensure children are noticed even in areas with otherwise clear sightlines.
Some schools have begun incorporating subtle light enhancements on the bus or near the bus stop itself to make students easier to detect from a distance.
