In this situation, are you obliged to stop and wait until the bus drives out of the bay?

Description

Art. 18 para. 1 of the Road Traffic Act (Journal of Laws of 2012, item 1137, consolidated text, as amended)

Explanation

Correct answer: No

In the visible situation, the bus standing in the bus bay does not signal its intention to join the traffic with the left indicator. According to Art. 18 para. 1 of the Road Traffic Act, a vehicle driver is obliged to enable a bus to pull out only when it signals such a manoeuvre. Due to the lack of signalling, you are not obliged to stop and wait for it to pull out.
