Priority for public transport and passing public transport stops

Outside intersections, where tram tracks cross the carriageway, a tram has priority over non-rail vehicles, except when it is leaving the depot.

On roads with a public transport lane marked with signs 5.14 “Public transport lane”, 5.11.1 “Road with a public transport lane”, 5.13.1 and 5.13.2 “Exit onto a road with a public transport lane”, other vehicles must not drive or stop in that lane. If the public transport lane is separated from the rest of the carriageway by a broken line, vehicles joining such a road may enter the lane on condition that they immediately move into the adjacent lane. Vehicles may also enter such lanes to let passengers in or out, and to turn off the road. When entering and leaving such lanes, drivers must give way to public transport vehicles and must not impede them while they are letting passengers in or out in those lanes.

In built-up areas, drivers of public transport vehicles moving off from an equipped and marked stop have priority, but may move off only after making sure that vehicles approaching in the adjacent lane are not putting them at risk.

Drivers must not impede pedestrians walking to or from (on the door side) a public transport vehicle standing at a stop, if passengers get on and off from the carriageway or from a boarding platform on the carriageway.
