195 Stopping at or near bus stop (1) A driver (except the driver of a public bus) must not stop at a bus stop, or on the road, within 20m before a sign on the road that indicates the bus stop, and 10m after the sign, unless the driver stops at a place on a length of road, or in an area, to which a parking control sign applies and the driver is permitted to stop at that place under this regulation. (1A) However, the driver of a demand responsive service vehicle may stop at a bus stop, or on the road, within 20m before a sign on the road that indicates the bus stop, and 10m after the sign if— (a) the driver is dropping off or picking up passengers; and
(b) the vehicle is authorised to stop at the bus stop under an authority under the Road Transport (Public Passenger Services) Regulation 2002, section 305 (1) (DRS vehicles—bus stop and bus zone authorities). (2) For this section, distances are measured in the direction in which the authorised to stop, at a bus stop, for a demand responsive service vehicle, means a bus stop that the demand responsive service vehicle is authorised to stop at under an authority under the Road Transport (Public Passenger Services) Regulation 2002, section 305 (1).
