G14 Information Sign – Bus Stop, 50x65 cm, Class II

G14 Information Sign – Bus Stop, 50x65 cm, Class II

The sign that marks the start of a bus stop, with class II prismatic sheeting. It is the choice for stops on national roads and lit town main streets, where both the bus driver and other road users must see it from a distance.

Why class II

Class II (RA2) prismatic sheeting returns roughly three to four times more headlight to the driver than class I sheeting, so the sign can be seen from further away at night and stays legible when viewed at an angle. SR 1848-2 requires prismatic class 2 or 3 sheeting in areas with many light sources, such as streets with public lighting, shop windows and advertising, where a class I sign gets lost in the background. Class II sheeting has a guaranteed 10-year service life, against 7 years for class I.

Where it goes, under SR 1848-1:2024

It goes at the start of the public transport stop area, in the direction of travel. At the other end of the stop, the transport operator installs a panel with its logo, the lines serving the stop and their frequency, with a shape, size and colours approved in advance by the road authority and the traffic police.

As a general rule, information signs go in the area of the place they point out. If the place needs to be announced in advance, an identical sign is used, at least 50 m before it in built-up areas and at least 150 m before it outside them, with the distance written at the bottom or on the P1 additional panel.
