Enroute Emergencies
In the case of any enroute emergency, the Driver must ensure the safety of the pas-
sengers before performing any procedure on the bus. Safely maneuver the bus to
the nearest safe location; a parking lot or emergency lane if possible, and take ap-
propriate measures to arrange for pick up of the passengers and notify public safety
officials.
[WARNING] No one should attempt to transport passengers without thor-
ough knowledge of the controls and safety equipment. See the Driver Orienta-
tion and Pretrip Inspection sections of this manual, and thoroughly familiarize
yourself with the locations of all emergency equipment.
It is assumed that the Driver will seek immediate assistance of qualified service tech-
nicians in the event of any mechanical failure. The information in this section is only
to provide some information which may be helpful to service technicians rendering
assistance.
Using Triangular Hazard Reflectors
In the event that the bus must be parked in an emergency lane or road shoulder,
deploy the triangular roadside hazard reflectors as follows:
On a two-lane roadway, place a triangular marker 100 feet (about 40 paces) to
the front of the vehicle, with reflective side facing oncoming traffic. Place another
triangular marker 100 feet (about 40 paces) to the rear of the vehicle, with the reflec-
tive side toward overtaking traffic.
On a four-lane roadway, place one triangular marker 100 feet (about 40 paces)
to the rear of the vehicle. Place another triangular marker 200 feet (about 80 paces)
from the first marker (300 feet behind
the vehicle). The reflective side should
be facing overtaking traffic.
