Current through Register Vol. 50, No. 9, September 20, 2024
A. In the event that a bus is stopped due to an accident, mechanical failure, road conditions, or human failure, the driver must determine immediately whether it is safe for students to remain in the bus or evacuate.
B. The driver must evacuate if any of these conditions exist.
1. The final stopping point
is in the path of any train or adjacent to any railroad tracks.
2. The stopped position of the bus changes
and increases the danger. If, for example, a bus should come to rest near a
body of water or near the edge of a cliff, it should be evacuated. The driver
should be certain that the evacuation is carried out in a manner that affords
maximum safety for the students.
3.
The stopped position of the bus is such that there is danger of collision. In
normal traffic conditions, the bus should be visible for a distance of 300 or
more feet. A position over a hill or around a curve where such visibility does
not exist should be considered reason for evacuation.
