Are you required to yield to a bus signalling its intention to rejoin traffic from a marked stop within a built-up area?

Question

DentroTest · Accepted Answer

The correct answer is yes, you must facilitate the maneuver, even stopping if necessary.  According to General Traffic Regulations, on urban roads (built-up areas), drivers must facilitate the rejoining of public transport vehicles leaving a marked stop.  Detailed explanation: Obligation in town: The rule requires you to yield, which implies slowing down or even stopping your vehicle to let the bus out, provided you can do so safely (without sudden braking). Difference with interurban roads: If this happened outside a built-up area, the obligation to stop would not be mandatory, although facilitating the maneuver is recommended. Priority: It is not true that cars always have preference here; the flow of public transport in cities has regulatory priority in this specific situation.
