STOP/YIELD for Bus, new law for Ontario - January 08, 2004 07:57 pm UTC
As of Friday January 2, 2004 there is a new province (Ontario) wide law that requires drivers to give right of way to buses coming out of bus bays or needing to change lanes while returning to traffic after a bus stop. Otherwise, the fine is set to $90. However police are expected to give warnings for a period of time to allow public to gain awareness and adjust.
This is to speed up TTC service and provide a measure of safety regarding buses trying to merge with long lines of fast moving traffic.
