12. Bus stop
A bus stop is a designated place where buses stop to allow passengers to board or leave. It may be identified by a sign, shelter, raised platform, road marking or other public-transport infrastructure and can be located beside the road or in a specially constructed stopping area.
Drivers approaching a bus stop should watch carefully for buses, pedestrians and passengers crossing or entering the roadway. Parking or stopping restrictions may apply around bus stops to keep the area accessible and visible.

What stopping or parking restrictions apply at bus stops in Russia?

May I briefly drop off a passenger at a bus stop in Russia?
Passenger boarding or alighting is exempt from this particular restriction if it does not interfere with scheduled public-transport vehicles or the taxi traffic covered by the rule. It is not a permission to park or wait.
What should I do near a stopped bus in Russia?
In a built-up area, give way to buses and trolleybuses starting from a designated stop. Their drivers must first ensure that other traffic is giving way.
