When transporting more than six children in Germany, vehicles need a school bus plate to make other road users aware of potential hazards when the kids get on and off the bus. Since school bussesfetch up children in the morning, it is often dark or light is dim. Therefore, the school bus sign is based on a vinyl film from Orafol^®, which provides basic reflectivity and has a conspicuous orange colour.

In addition to being resistant to corrosion and solvents, the reflective film is also very hardwearing as to impacts and scratches. It withstands all (European) weather conditions on the road.

Retroreflective Bus Signs for a Safe Way to School

Our school bus sign conforms to German regulations and needs to be attached to the front and to the rear of the vehicle. If you transport six to nine people (driver included), the sign should be 400 x 400mm in size. For more children, the front sign must measure 400 x 400mm and the back sign 600 x 600mm. The bus plates sized 250 x 250mm are only additional marking signs and cannot replace the obligatory larger signs.

Mounting Options for Flexible and Permanent Use

This school bus sign is available in three variants, which differ in how to mount the sign onto the vehicle. If you are looking for a permanent solution, you should opt for 1) the self-adhesive sticker. For short-term uses, 2) the magnetic sign or 3) the polycarbonate plate with suction cups are the right choices for you.

The last two options may be best for you, if you use your vehicle for other purposes as well (not just transporting school children): As per German regulations, it is mandatory to remove or cover the school bus sign if you are not transporting children to school.

Important notes: Please read our data sheet about the magnetic film carefully as it contains essential information regarding care and use of the magnetic sign. You can find the data sheet in our online shop on the respective product page and in the parcel delivered to you.

The sign variant with suction cups is made of a light-weight yet shatterproof IMPEX^® polycarbonate plate. In order to prevent losing the sign when the school bus is moving, installing the school bus plate only inside the bus is recommended.
