Travel Information Travel Information HOW TO GET AROUND KYIV BY PUBLIC TRANSPORT You can get around by metro, bus, trolleybus, tram or buses (locally called ‘marshrutka’) in Kyiv.

  • Guidelines for the Safe Siting of School Bus Stops
    Guidelines for the safe location of school bus stops 1. How are bus stops determined? Bus stops will be placed on public roadways and will avoid travel on private roads and/or driveways Bus routes are designed with buses traveling on main arterials with students picked up and dropped off at central locations. Visibility – Bus drivers need to have at least 500 feet of visible roadway to the bus stop. If there is not ample visibility (e.g. curve or hill) a “school bus stop ahead sign” is put in place before the stop in accordance with WAC 392-145-030 Bus drivers activate their school bus warning lights 300-100 feet before arriving at the bus stop, where the posted speed limit is 35 mph and under, and 500-300 feet before arriving at the bus stop where the posted speed limit is 35 mph and over. 2. Why are bus stops located at corners? Bus stops may be located at corners or intersections whenever possible. Corner stops are much more visible to drivers than house numbers. Students are generally taught to cross at corners rather than in the middle of the street. Traffic controls, such as stoplights or signs, are located at corners. These tend to slow down motorists at corners, making them more cautious as they approach intersections. The motoring public generally expects school buses to stop at corners rather than individual houses. Impatient motorists are also less likely to pass buses at corners than along a street. Cars passing school buses create the greatest risk to students who are getting on or off the bus.

Крат Russian Loanwords in Modern English Many languages, including English, contain words most likely bor- rowed from the Russian language. Not all the words are of truly Russian or Slavic origin. Some of them co-exist in other Slavic languages and it is diffi cult to decide whether they made English from Russian or, say, from Bul- garian. Some other words are borrowed or constructed from the classical an- cient languages, such as Latin or Greek. Still others are themselves borrowed from indigenous peoples that Russians have come into contact with in the Russian or Soviet territory.
