About Letting a bus pull away, a tram stop without a platform, and the bus gate: which statement is WRONG?
- The rule explicitly applies only within the built-up area.
- Signalling announces, it gives no priority; only a bus inside a built-up area that wants to pull away is let go first, a small minibus is not.
- The text explicitly names 'all buses, including touring coaches'.
- ✓ At every tram stop you must give way to crossing passengers, regardless of whether there is a refuge island or platform.
Correct answer: At every tram stop you must give way to crossing passengers, regardless of whether there is a refuge island or platform.
Explanation
The obligation applies specifically to a tram stop WITHOUT a refuge island/platform; the book itself calls this a rare situation. At a stop with a refuge island, passengers already cross safely before reaching the carriageway
Why learners get this wrong
- The rule explicitly applies only within the built-up area. Outside the built-up area you do not need to give way to a bus pulling away
- Signalling announces, it gives no priority; only a bus inside a built-up area that wants to pull away is let go first, a small minibus is not
- The text explicitly names 'all buses, including touring coaches'. Only small local shuttle buses fall outside it
