Sharing the road with buses in a harmonious way is essential for the safety and fluidity of traffic. This section details the specific rules for giving priority to buses and trolleybuses, particularly when maneuvering at stops.
Bus behavior
In built-up areas
In built-up areas, any driver following in the same direction as a bus or trolleybus must give way to them as soon as the driver has indicated his intention to leave his stopping point by operating his turn signal. This means slowing down and stopping if necessary. Outside built-up areas, buses and trolleybuses do not have priority when leaving their stops.
Respecting the right of way for buses and trolleybuses in built-up areas is not only a legal obligation, but also a gesture of courtesy that contributes to the efficiency of public transport. By slowing down or stopping when a bus signals its departure, you contribute to the fluidity of urban traffic while guaranteeing the safety of all road users.
