What do you have to be aware of in this situation?

In this scenario, when approaching a bus that is stopped at a bus stop, German traffic law (§ 20 StVO) requires drivers to be especially cautious. Pedestrians may cross the street from in front of or behind the bus, so it is important to slow down and be ready to stop if necessary. If the bus shows its hazard lights (which usually means passengers are getting on or off), you are only allowed to drive past at walking speed and must not endanger or hinder pedestrians. In this question, both being aware of pedestrians crossing and driving past the bus at walking speed were correct. Knowing and applying these rules helps protect vulnerable road users and ensures safe driving in such situations.
