When a bus intends to pull out from a marked bus stop, what must other drivers do?
Joining traffic
Explanation
To facilitate the merging of a bus from a marked stop, it is important to follow certain right-of-way rules while driving. Here we explain why you should facilitate its merging:
- **General right-of-way rules:** When a vehicle has the right of way, such as a bus merging from a marked stop, other drivers must **gradually reduce their speed**. This allows the bus driver to realize that they are being given the right of way.
- **Facilitating the merge:** It is not necessary to come to a complete stop, but it is important to **drive slowly** or remain stationary if necessary, until the bus has safely completed its merge. This ensures that the bus can enter the traffic flow without issues.
- **Traffic safety and flow:** Facilitating the bus's merge helps maintain **traffic flow** and prevents dangerous situations that could occur if the bus cannot merge properly.
By following these guidelines, a safer and more orderly circulation is ensured for all road users.
