ABSTRACT:
Children entering or departing a school bus are prevented from entering a generally rectangular zone in front of the bus by a pair of forwardly extending and laterally spaced arms and by a flexible cable extending laterally between the free end portions of the arms. The arms are adapted to be folded inwardly into stored positions against the front bumper of the bus and, as an incident thereto, the cable is automatically retracted into the arms. If a child hits an arm or the cable, or if the arms strike an obstruction, outer sections of the arm deflect and cause an audible or visual alarm signal to be produced.
