Established Route
Stops
*Route
stops in subdivisions are established with due consideration for safety,
efficiency and convenience. Buses
are to load and unload students within a safe distance and avoid frequent
stops. Stops shall be
selected so motorists
have a clear view of the bus from a
distance of at least 300'. Stops should never be made over the brow of a
hill, on a blind curve, in a road intersection, or on a steep grade.
Bus drivers shall not create or deviate from established
route/stops. Driver’s recommendations for the improvement of
established bus routes will be accepted upon review.
*Route
stops at apartment complexes are generally made on the street by the
apartment main entrance. Stops are generally not made inside complexes
because of the extra time involved, prohibitions against driving on private
property and the safety issue with parked cars, sharp turns, etc.
