Trams, buses & emergency vehicles
Recognise exceptions without assuming a vehicle always has priority.
Bus at stop · built-up area
Indicating to move off? Allow the bus to leave.
Bus at stop · outside built-up area
No bus-stop exception: the bus yields when moving off.
At an equal-priority junction, give way to a tram even from the left. A tram must still follow traffic lights and priority signs. The ordinary turning rules in article 18 do not apply to tram drivers.
Within built-up areas, let a bus leave a stop when the driver indicates that intention. Outside built-up areas this exception does not apply; moving off follows the special-manoeuvre rule.
Let an emergency vehicle using blue flashing lights and a two-tone siren pass. Respond predictably, observe its intended route and make room safely. Do not simply drive through red or onto the pavement.
