Abstract

A school bus stop sign (10) of the type rotatably coupled to a school bus (18) and movable between a retracted position adjacent to the school bus (18) and an extended position extending outwardly from the school bus (18) is disclosed.
The bus stop sign (10) is characterized by an array of light emitting diodes (34) disposed on the bus stop sign (10) to provide illumination thereto.
