    6  to read:
    7         316.0817 Loading and unloading of bus passengers.—
    8         (1) Notwithstanding any other law, a bus may not stop to
    9  load or unload passengers in a manner that impedes, blocks, or
   10  otherwise restricts the progression of traffic on the main
   11  traveled portion of a roadway if there is another reasonable
   12  means for the bus to stop parallel to the travel lane and safely
   13  load and unload passengers. As used in this section, the term
   14  “reasonable means” means sufficient unobstructed pavement or a
   15  designated turn lane that is sufficient in length to allow the
   16  safe loading and unloading of passengers parallel to the travel
   17  lane.

   27         progression of traffic under certain circumstances;
   28         providing an exception;
