Obligación de ceder el paso a autobuses de tránsito

Explicación Simple

Si un autobús de tránsito quiere entrar a la carretera después de parar, debes dejarlo pasar. Si no lo haces, puedes tener problemas. Es una regla para mantener seguras a las personas que usan el autobús.

Es como cuando estás en una fila para comprar comida y alguien que acaba de entrar intenta meterse delante de ti. Si lo dejas pasar, todos pueden seguir en orden y sin problemas.

Ejemplo Práctico

Imagina que Carlos está manejando su auto y se acerca a un autobús de tránsito que está parado en una parada. Cuando el autobús enciende su luz y comienza a entrar a la carretera, Carlos debe detenerse y dejar que el autobús pase antes de continuar su camino.
