Title: bilingual signage for import
Post by: buswarrior on October 03, 2021, 01:55:32 PM
Does anyone have the french bilingual emergency signage on their side window bars, and roof hatches?

Finishing my Covid delayed bus import and need to meet this requirement.

Pictures of what's there now.

Happy coaching!

"Emergency Exits must be clearly identified with bilingual labels above or near the exit... operating instructions within 6 inches of the lever"

Wherever there are words intended to help passengers, they have to be bilingual.

The bus has bilingual Spanish on the roof exits, interestingly enough...

Preliminary discussions with Inspection station are positive.

I am going to put forth an appropriate effort. I would prefer to not put the Inspector in an uncomfortable position over some readily made-up labels.

Save yer powder for the big stuff, as they say?

Happy coaching!

I went to look at the DL (ex Greyhound) out back. All the signs are bilingual, but English and Spanish. This was a Calgary car, but of course owned by Greyhound out of Dallas.

I speak French and was going to offer my help, but I tried a few sentences doing what sled head suggested and it appears I am a bit rusty. Wouldn't want you to make a label I come up with. Might get you through.....or arrested. Je ne say pas

Could you just do something on your printer, laminate it, and glue it up?

Anyone with an MC7 thru to early 102D with the baggage bay handle style roof hatches, your french wording is all i have missing now.

Take picture, type the words, PM, anything...

Another busnut came up with the window bar wording for me.

A little bit further...

Happy coaching!
