What is the maximum length of time you are allowed to stop at a bus stop provided you do not present an obstruction to buses?

In German traffic rules, stopping at a bus stop is generally restricted to avoid obstructing buses and public transport. However, you are allowed to stop there briefly—as long as you do not hinder the buses. The maximum permitted duration for stopping at a bus stop without causing obstruction is three minutes. This short time frame allows for quick stops, such as picking up or dropping off passengers, but not for longer parking or waiting. Understanding this ensures you respect public transport operations and avoid fines.
