What are they?
 The School Bus Stop Ahead sign indicates to drivers that they are approaching a school bus stop.
What are the issues?
Due to the large numbers of School Bus Stops throughout the municipality, it is important that the signs are used at only those locations where they are most needed. The integrity of the signs may be jeopardized if used indiscriminately. The consequences may be that the sign will lose its effectiveness and be ignored in a critical situation. Uniform application throughout HRM is important to maintain driver respect.
Where are they used?
The School Bus Stop Ahead sign may be installed in advance of school bus stops which have less than the minimum stopping sight distance and cannot be relocated to a location with adequate visibility. Roadway curvature and foliage are factors that may restrict stopping sight distance.
A supplementary tab may be used to indicate the distance to the bus stop.
