Must motorists yield the right of way to public transit vehicles?

Motorists are required to yield the right of way to public transit vehicles in all cases. This law is designed to ensure the safety of passengers who are boarding or alighting from buses and to keep public transportation moving efficiently. When a bus signals to re-enter traffic after dropping off or picking up passengers, approaching vehicles must be aware and yield to allow the bus to merge safely back into the lane.

The rationale behind this rule stems from the importance of public transit in reducing traffic congestion and providing essential services to the community. Giving buses the right of way encourages more people to utilize public transport, which contributes to overall traffic safety and efficiency.

The other options inaccurately reflect the legal requirements. Some imply limitations on yielding, which do not exist in Nevada law. Safety regulations specifically prioritize the movement and safety of public transport vehicles at all times.
