3M 7000148627 School Bus Marking 2 Inches X 50 Yd Yellow

Product Description

The 3M 7000148627 is a yellow retroreflective flexible microprismatic school bus marking strip designed to increase the visibility of school buses to oncoming drivers. Sold as a 2-inch-wide by 50-yard continuous roll, this marking uses a pressure-sensitive adhesive backing for secure, lasting attachment to bus body panels and other flat or slightly curved surfaces. The microprismatic construction delivers high retroreflectivity, returning light toward the source across a wide range of approach angles. It meets FMVSS 131, FMVSS 217, and CSA D250 standards, making it compliant for use on school transportation vehicles in both the United States and Canada.

This marking strip is used on school buses requiring reflective perimeter marking to satisfy federal and state transportation safety standards. The flexible construction allows it to conform to body contours without cracking or lifting at the edges. The 50-yard roll format is suited for fleet maintenance operations, school district transportation departments, and body shops performing school bus upfitting or refurbishment work. The kiss-cut piece option referenced by the manufacturer is available in other configurations; this SKU is a continuous roll.

Key Features

• High-intensity microprismatic retroreflectivity improves bus visibility at night and in low-light conditions
• Flexible construction conforms to curved and contoured bus body surfaces
• Aggressive pressure-sensitive adhesive backing for a firm, long-term bond
• Meets FMVSS 131, FMVSS 217, and CSA D250 school transportation marking standards
• 2-inch width by 50-yard continuous roll format minimizes seams on long panel runs
• Yellow color meets school bus marking color requirements for perimeter identification

Compatibility

Designed as a compliant retroreflective marking for school buses subject to FMVSS 131, FMVSS 217, and CSA D250 requirements. Suitable for application to painted metal bus body panels and other clean, smooth exterior surfaces where pressure-sensitive retroreflective tape is specified.

Installation Notes

Surface preparation is critical before application — clean the substrate thoroughly to remove dirt, oil, wax, and moisture. Apply at temperatures within the adhesive manufacturer's recommended range and press the tape firmly along its full length to ensure full adhesive contact. This product is typically installed by bus body technicians or fleet maintenance personnel familiar with FMVSS marking layout requirements. Once applied, avoid disturbing the tape until the adhesive has fully cured.
