Road Traffic Safety. School Bus Assistant Helping Kids Cross Road By Crosswalk

Back-to-School Safety: Preventing Crosswalk and Bus-Stop Accidents

When school starts, traffic patterns change. More children walk on sidewalks, more cars stop for school buses, and more students cross streets on their way to and from class. Preventing crosswalk and bus-stop accidents becomes a top priority during this busy season. Even one moment of distraction from either a driver or a pedestrian can cause a serious, life-changing accident.

Why the Risk is Higher During the School Year

Children often focus on meeting friends, getting to class on time, or hurrying to catch the bus. Many don’t always stop to check for cars or use crosswalks correctly. At the same time, drivers may rush to work, glance at phones, or fail to expect a child to step into the road. These combined behaviors create especially dangerous conditions near schools in the mornings and afternoons.

Safety Tips for Drivers

  • Slow down in school zones – Follow posted speed limits and stay ready to stop at any time.

  • Stop for school buses – In New York, the law requires all drivers to stop when a bus flashes red lights.

  • Stay alert – Keep your phone down and avoid distractions like eating while driving.

  • Watch for sudden movements – Children may dart into the road near bus stops or between parked cars.

Safety Tips for Parents and Students

  • Plan safe routes – Walk or bike along streets with crosswalks, sidewalks, and crossing guards.

  • Practice safe crossings – Look left, right, then left again, and make eye contact with drivers before stepping into the street.

  • Wear bright or reflective clothing – Drivers notice bright colors more easily, especially in early morning or evening hours.

  • Arrive early to the bus stop – Give yourself enough time so you never need to run across the street.

What to Do If an Accident Happens

If a car strikes a child in a crosswalk or at a bus stop, act immediately. Call for medical help, notify the police, and gather details such as witness statements and photographs of the scene. Even if injuries seem minor, take the child for a full medical evaluation because some injuries remain hidden at first. Contact an experienced personal injury attorney who can explain your rights, guide you through insurance claims, and take action against negligent drivers.

MontanaroLaw helps families take the right steps after an accident and works to secure the support they need. Let’s work together on preventing crosswalk and bus-stop accidents so our community’s children can travel to and from school safely. If your child suffered an injury in a traffic-related incident, contact us today to speak with our team and get the guidance you deserve.
