During an emergency diversion, where should bus operators stop?

Bus operators should stop at every block of the diversionary route, preferably at the far side of the intersection, during an emergency diversion. This practice emphasizes safety and efficiency in managing passenger flow during unexpected situations.

Stopping at the far side of the intersection helps maintain visibility and minimizes the risk of accidents as buses transition through intersections. It ensures that passengers can safely board and alight without being in the immediate path of oncoming vehicles, which is particularly critical during emergencies when traffic patterns might be unpredictable.

Additionally, this method allows the bus to move clear of intersections, avoiding unnecessary congestion and supporting the overall operations of the transit system during diversions. By adhering to this practice, bus operators can effectively manage passenger safety while navigating detoured routes.
