• Abstract:
  Bus pullout bays are being installed increasingly ; on Florida’s roads as a safety factor and so that ; stopped buses do not impede traffic. In Florida, ; state law requires car drivers to yield to buses ; when a bus needs to reenter the roadway after a ; stop; yielding to the bus is important to helping ; it maintain a schedule. However, many drivers do ; not yield to the bus under these circumstances.
