Students should cross the road in front of the bus within what distance?

Students should cross the road in front of the bus at a distance of 10 feet. This distance allows children to stay within the driver's line of sight, ensuring that visibility and safety are maximized. When students are 10 feet away from the front of the bus, they are far enough that the bus driver can see them clearly, and the distance provides a buffer zone, giving students enough time to assess the situation before crossing.

Crossing at this distance helps to prevent accidents, as it is far enough to allow young children to ensure that traffic is clear and that they do not inadvertently step into the path of an oncoming vehicle. Maintaining this distance from the bus also respects the procedure for crossing safely, which includes waiting until it is clear to cross after checking for traffic and any potential hazards.
