Within built-up areas, is there an obligation to make it easier for public passenger transport vehicles pulling out from a properly signposted stop to merge back into traffic?

Question

DentroTest · Accepted Answer

Article 73 of the General Traffic Regulations obliges other drivers to make it easier, as far as possible, for a public passenger transport vehicle leaving a signposted stop to merge back into traffic. In built-up areas they must move laterally, whenever possible, or reduce their speed, and stop only if necessary so that the bus can continue on its way (Article 73(2)). Considering it a mere courtesy or recommendation is a mistake, because it is a regulatory obligation. Requiring a complete stop in all cases is not correct either, because you only have to stop when it is necessary to allow the maneuver.
