D63 Why are school buses usually yellow?

[Corinne C]

What a nice alignment!

[Madeleine Pennock]

This is very well seen! Excellent point of view and the yellow really stands out against the black and white!

What Madeleine said, also:

"Lateral peripheral vision for detecting yellows is 1.24 times greater than for red." - https://www.childrensmuseum.org/blog/why-is-my-school-bus-yellow

the United States General Services Administration (GSA) now calls the color National School Bus Glossy Yellow, or Color 13432- https://www.smithsonianmag.com/history/history-how-school-buses-became-yellow-180973041/
