When driving past a tram or bus stop without a passenger island that requires passengers to step onto the road, must the driver stop the vehicle so pedestrians can freely access the bus?

Explanation

Correct answer: Yes

Yes. Under art. 26 para. 6 of the Road Traffic Act, a driver passing a stop without a passenger island must stop so that passengers can reach or leave the public transport vehicle freely. This duty protects passengers who have to step onto the carriageway to reach the bus.
