If that stop is in the right turn lane at an intersection (and the bus, after the stop, needs to merge left back into the through lane). Seems to be some confusion and some drivers will go around to make a right turn in front of the stopped bus regardless.
I've witnessed this a lot more lately, would it not make more sense to plan the bus stop another 30 feet or so away from the intersection to avoid this?
I've done that, as long as there's room to get back into the right hand lane in order to make the right turn. Is it illegal?
Probably depends if the lane line has changed from dashed to solid; solid would be illegal, dashed would probably still be ok.
Everyone move to the back of the bus and we all get home faster.
