Should pedestrians cross the roadway in front of a bus?
Traffic rules
Explanation
It is not advisable for pedestrians to cross the road in front of a bus because **the bus can block the view of both the pedestrian and the drivers of other vehicles**. This increases the risk of accidents, as drivers cannot see the pedestrian in time to stop.
Additionally, pedestrians should take extra precautions to avoid being run over, such as crossing at pedestrian crossings and ensuring that vehicles have stopped before crossing. **Visibility is key to pedestrian safety**, and crossing in front of a bus significantly reduces this visibility.
Therefore, it is safer to wait for the bus to move or to cross at a place where visibility is clear and there are no obstacles preventing drivers and pedestrians from seeing each other.
