Adults and many children, in response to the question of how to get around the standing transport, can easily answer that the bus and trolley should be bypassed from behind, and the tram in front. Do you give the right answer to this question? Looking into the rules of the road you will be surprised to find no answer in them.
Instruction manual
1
Try to reason logically. If the pedestrian begins to bypass the bus from behind, then he will be in front of vehicles that are moving in the opposite direction. Such a "meeting" is extremely dangerous, because the car cannot be stopped instantly. If the pedestrian begins to go around the bus in front, as many hurrying adults do, then in this case he will not see the transport following in the same direction. Likewise, the driver of a vehicle moving in the same direction cannot see a pedestrian because of a standing bus. As a result, an emergency occurs.
2
In order to avoid the occurrence of such emergencies, adults must necessarily show children such pedestrian mistakes on the street, and even independently simulate situations together. Take the child by the hand and go to the bus, standing outside the stop. Show him that because of the standing vehicle, part of the carriageway is hidden, and if the road is not visible, therefore, you can not go on it.
3
Unfortunately, some parents do not teach children this, forgetting, or neglecting the upbringing of the child regarding behavior on the roadway. As a result, there are cases when, out of ignorance, a child runs out onto the road due to standing transport, being confident in safety, then falling under the wheels of a moving vehicle.
4
It is extremely important to teach the child to cross the road, finding a place where the roadway will be well visible in both directions for a fairly large distance. Such a place will be at the designated pedestrian crossing or at the intersection. Thus, getting out of the bus or trolley, you need to walk to the sidewalk or curb, then walk along the sidewalk or curb to the nearest pedestrian crossing or intersection, and there you will cross the road.
5
The transition itself should be carried out in two stages: first you need to go through several steps, reaching the bus or other vehicle that limits visibility on the roadway; making sure that you can clearly see the road, and the drivers see you well, check that the vehicle nearest you is at least 50 meters away, and only after that cross the road. It will be even better to wait until the standing bus, trolleybus or other transport, which closes the view, leaves, and then cross the road.
