Question 5707
On a high-capacity divided highway (autovía), a bus wants to merge into traffic from a designated bus stop. Are the other drivers required to facilitate the maneuver?
- No; facilitating the maneuver is only required in an urban area.
- Yes, as much as possible.
- Only if they do not have to slow down or change lanes to do so.
Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: Yes, as much as possible.
Yes. Even outside a built-up area, on a high-capacity divided highway (autovía), you must help a bus leaving a marked stop pull out as much as you can, for example by easing off the accelerator or changing lanes. Only in a built-up area are you also required to stop if necessary.
