Scheduled bus

A scheduled bus is a bus used for public transport. A distinction can be made between city, regional, and long-distance buses. Scheduled buses are often equipped with traffic light control equipment.

At bus and tram stops, you must always be careful and adjust your speed if necessary. Passengers often get on or off and then want to cross the road. They don’t always pay attention, especially with children. Therefore, always be alert and attentive, and let passengers cross safely if they aren’t paying attention.

If a bus (any bus!) wants to leave a bus stop within a built-up area, you must give the bus priority. The bus must indicate this by turning on its indicator; in this case, you must give it priority. Outside of built-up areas, this is not necessary. This priority status applies to all buses, both scheduled buses and coaches.

A question that often comes up at the CBR is: The coach wants to leave the stop: should you give it priority? Then pay close attention to the traffic sign to determine whether it is within or outside a built-up area. If it is within a built-up area, the answer is yes. If the bus stop is outside a built-up area, the answer is no.
