FAQ
Is this the same as V59 red/white truck tape?
No. V59 also comes as a red/white DOT-C2 tape for trailers under FMVSS 108. This page is the school bus version in yellow and white. For trailer conspicuity, call us.
Yellow or white for exits?
It depends on your spec — check your state school bus requirements before ordering a fleet's worth. V59 gives you both options in the same tape.
Why choose V59 over V82 or V99?
White. V82 School Bus and V99 come in school bus yellow only. If you need white outlining, or want to keep yellow and white from the same product line, V59 covers both.
