• 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.
