Safer Journeys to School (SJS)
The Safer Journeys to School (SJS) Programme aims to improve safety for children travelling to and from school.
- Children boarding or leaving school buses are among the most vulnerable road users, particularly
when they are required to cross or walk near the carriageway.
- A moment’s inattention can have tragic consequences. Collisions involving children around school
buses often occur on rural roads and at bus stops where visibility is restricted and drivers fail to see or
anticipate a child’s movements.
Drivers remember, that because a bus is so large, a child around a bus may not see you approaching and for the same
reason you may not see a child emerging from the front or back of the bus to cross the road. Always take extra care
around stationary buses, especially school buses. If in doubt do not pass the bus and let it move off.
