Are you obliged in this situation in the built-up area to stop if the need be, in order to allow the bus to join the traffic?

Description

Art. 18 para. 1 of the Act of 20 June 1997 - Road Traffic Act (Journal of Laws of 2012, item 1137, as amended)

Explanation

Correct answer: Yes

Yes, if necessary, you should stop. The provision of Art. 18 para. 1 of the Road Traffic Act clearly states that in a built-up area, a driver must enable a bus to leave a bus stop. For this purpose, you should slow down, and if simply reducing speed is not enough for the bus to merge safely into traffic, the driver is obliged to stop their vehicle.
