Crossing the Road after Disembarking from the Bus (2)



Leading on from the previous video, this has been filmed on a busy road outside a school. As it shows in the video the road is extremely busy and there are cars parked up along the roadside beside the bus stop. For small Children this could potentially be very dangerous as they may be smaller than the height of the car, making it very difficult for road used to see them. It also takes a while before there is a safe point to cross, meaning inpatient children may rush without thinking.

Crossing the Road after Disembarking from the Bus

Crossing the road after getting off a bus can sometimes be very difficult, especially for children and the elderly. There are good and bad crossings near and around bus stops. This video bellow shows a very difficult bus stop to reach. It is on a duel carriageway, with no crossings nearby. The duel carriage is a main road and can become extremely busy at peak times. This bus stop should really be re positioned as it is a safety hazard. In the video it take approximately 1 minute for the passenger to cross the road after getting off the bus, if you think this could be a school child, and school children are not wanting to wait about, they will try and dash across the road as soon as the can, this could result in a serious accident or could even be fatal.
