17. Priority of route vehicles

On a road with a lane for route vehicles marked by road sign 5.8 or 5.11, movement and stopping of other vehicles (except taxis and cyclists) are prohibited in that lane.


17.2.

A driver turning right on a road with a lane for route vehicles that is separated by a broken road marking line may make the turn from that lane.

In populated areas, when approaching a bus, minibus, or trolleybus starting to move from a marked stop located in a pull-in bay, drivers of other vehicles are obliged to reduce speed and, if necessary, stop in order to allow the route vehicle to start moving.


17.5.

Drivers of buses, minibuses, and trolleybuses who have signaled their intention to start moving from a stop must take measures to prevent a road traffic accident.
