Do You Know What “THE DANGER ZONE” Is?

South Portland School DepartmentSouth Portland School DepartmentTransportation Department
"THE DANGER ZONE" is the ten-foot area around the
school bus. This area is especially dangerous because you can stand in places where the school bus driver can’t see
you.

Students should always be very careful around
"THE DANGER ZONE.”
When you get off of the bus, take ten BIG steps away from
the bus.

If the you have to cross the street, you MUST look at the driver to see the hand signal to cross the road to make sure you
have a safe crossing. You are also expected to check for traffic on your own. If you hear
the horn, look at the driver, because there may be DANGER ahead.

•Long scarves and other loose clothing

Clothing like this can get caught in the handrail, door, or other equipment on the
school bus.
A number of children across the U.S. have had their clothing caught as they
got off the bus.
Some of these children lost their lives.

PARENTS & TEACHERS

take measures to prevent tragedy.

Talk to your parents & teachers about the following safety rules:
•Avoid THE DANGER ZONE around the bus
•Don’t try to pick up something you drop near the bus - the bus driver might not see you.
•Remember that other cars don’t always stop for a stopped school bus.
•BE CAREFUL when getting on or off the bus!

Have Mom or Dad REMOVE drawstrings
immediately, OR
SEW a seam through the drawstrings at the middle of the hood and neck so neither
end can pull out and catch on an object, AND
CUT all string ends as short as needed to close the
garment.
