At what speed should buses be traveling in garages and yards?

Buses should be traveling at a speed of 5 mph in garages and yards for several reasons. This lower speed limit is primarily implemented to ensure the safety of both the bus operators and personnel working in these areas. Garages and yards are typically crowded with vehicles, maintenance equipment, and staff, creating situations where the risk of accidents can be higher.

By maintaining a maximum speed of 5 mph, any potential hazards can be better assessed, allowing for more reaction time in the event of an emergency or unexpected situation. This speed limit also helps in minimizing the severity of any potential collisions that might occur in such confined spaces, given that the likelihood of pedestrian interaction is significantly greater there than on the road.

Additionally, adhering to this speed limit promotes a culture of safety and responsibility among bus operators, reinforcing the importance of careful driving in environments where big vehicles navigate through tight spaces and interact closely with pedestrians.
