Passing trams and buses at a stop

Drivers wishing to pass a stationary tram or bus on the side where passengers are boarding and alighting must give them the opportunity to do so.
As soon as a tram or bus is stationary at a stop, you must pay close attention to passengers who want to get on and off and are not paying close attention to traffic.
If there is no refuge barrier then you should give passengers the opportunity to reach the pavement.
If a refuge barrier is present, passengers should wait there until they can cross safely. In practice, it often happens that many passengers start crossing as soon as the tram or bus has stopped at the stop. Then, of course, you have to stop to let passengers cross.
If you are driving behind a scheduled bus, you can tell from the red light in the bus whether the bus is going to stop at the next stop.
Within built-up areas, drivers must give bus drivers the opportunity to drive away from a bus stop if the driver of that bus indicates his intention to drive away by giving a signal with his direction indicator.
