Regulaciones para el funcionamiento de autobuses escolares en Colorado

Explicación Simple

Las reglas dicen que los autobuses escolares no pueden dejar a los niños cruzando calles grandes. Solo pueden hacerlo si es seguro y si no hay otra calle cerca que puedan usar.

Es como cuando en casa decides que tus amigos no pueden salir a jugar a la calle principal, porque es peligrosa. Prefieres que usen el camino más seguro que está a un lado.

Ejemplo Práctico

Imagina que Juanita está en el autobús escolar. Cuando llega a su parada, el conductor no puede dejarla en la esquina de una carretera grande. En cambio, tiene que esperar a que Juanita cruce en una calle más tranquila que está cerca, donde es más seguro.

C.R.S. 42-4-1904 – Regulations for school buses (1) The state board of education, by and with the advice of the executive director of the department, shall adopt and enforce regulations not inconsistent with this article to govern the operation of all school buses used for the transportation of schoolchildren and to govern the discharge of passengers from such school buses. Such regulations shall prohibit the driver of any school bus used for the transportation of schoolchildren from discharging any passenger from the school bus which will result in the passenger’s immediately crossing a major thoroughfare, except for two-lane highways when such crossing can be done in a safe manner, as determined by the local school board in consultation with the local traffic regulatory authority, and shall prohibit the discharging or loading of passengers from the school bus onto the side of any major thoroughfare whenever access to the destination of the passenger is possible by the use of a road or street which is adjacent to the major thoroughfare. For the purposes of this section, a "major thoroughfare" means a freeway, any U.S. highway outside any incorporated limit, interstate highway, or highway with four or more lanes, or a highway or road with a median separating multiple lanes of traffic. Every person operating a school bus or responsible for or in control of the operation of school buses shall be subject to said regulations.
