We live on a cul-de-sac. Will the bus come down our street?
Posted by:
Except for special education circumstances, buses are generally not routed into a cul-de-sac. Cul-de-sac stops are considered unwise for the following reasons:
* Cul-de-sac stops create blind spots, often causing students to enter or exit in a danger zone around the bus (at a corner stop or street curb stop, the enter/ exit outside the danger zone).
* Different styles and sizes of buses make maneuvering in cul-de-sac difficult.
* The rear of the bus has potential to swing around close to the sidewalk.
* Parked cars and other obstacles create road hazards that my not be seen until entering the cul-de-sac and creating a point of no return.
* Backing up a bus when students are on board is strictly forbidden.
* Property damage to mailboxes and landscaping.
