Le FLAG 

Making school bus stops visible in rural areas.

Increasing the visibility of school bus stops

In the Lyon area, one challenge remains: how to make school bus stops visible in poorly lit suburban or rural zones? Transdev, in collaboration with SYTRAL Mobilités, has come up with ‘Le FLAG,’ a clever and innovative solution to mark these stops and reassure students, parents, and drivers.

LE FLAG

Concept

  • A device consisting of a panel and a post, easy to install without major construction work.
  • Reflective signage, an easy-to-understand pictogram, and autonomous lighting powered by a solar panel and battery.
  • An intelligent, biodiversity-friendly system: the device lights up only when students are present, thanks to a motion detector during specific hours.

Objectives

  • Improve the visibility and safety of school bus stops
  • Reassure families
  • Make stops and the network more visible for drivers and motorists
  • Offer an eco-friendly solution with a low environmental impact

Impact

Feedback has been very positive:

  • Drivers appreciate the increased visibility at night.
  • Students feel reassured while waiting for the bus.
  • Parents praise the solution for its safety and simplicity.

Since a stop was created right outside our home, I let my daughter take the bus to high school with complete peace of mind.
