School Bus Warning sign

New to our range, the School Bus Warning sign. For Australian Compliance, the School Bus sign must be reflective. Note, reflectivity now must be class 1 Class 2 is now being phased put by year end 2020. As these are permanent signs, we decided to just manufacture the class 1 Fluorescent yellow stickers.

School bus to be fitted with warning signs and warning lights
All buses meeting the definition of school bus (whether entering service or already in service in
Queensland) must be fitted with the warning signs and warning lights required under the Transport
Operations (Passenger Transport) Standard 2010.

However, this does not apply to school buses that, immediately before 1 October 1999, complied with the Traffic Regulation 1962 schedule 1
section 18B as it was then in force and continue to comply with that section as though it were still in
force today.

Number and location of School Bus Warning sign

A school bus must have two warning signs, one fitted at the front of the bus and another at the rear of
the bus. The signs may be fitted on the inside or the outside of the bus but each must be visible from
outside the bus. A warning sign may be fitted on the inside of the bus only if the sign:
 is as visible as; and
 is the same colour as; and
 is not significantly dimmer than:
it would be if it were to be fitted on the outside of the bus at the front or rear of the bus. For example,
a warning sign fitted behind a clear back window.
