‘Sec. 1.  29-A MRSA §2053, sub-§9  is enacted to read:
 
9.  Yield to transit buses.    An operator of a vehicle must yield the right-of-way to a transit bus traveling in the same direction if the transit bus has signaled and is reentering the traffic flow from a bus stop or shoulder of the roadway. This subsection does not relieve the operator of a transit bus from the duty to drive with due regard for the safety of all persons using the roadway. For purposes of this subsection, "transit bus" means a bus operated by a public mass transit operator and does not include a school bus.’
