Abstract
Summary Operation of motor vehicles should take into account the elimination of the possibility of accidents. The article considers selected problems occurring in the operation of public transport buses at intersections. Compliance with the requirements of the safety system during signal change on the signaling device controlling traffic at the intersection was analyzed. The human factor in ergonomics is important. Ending the green signal display (in special situations) causes a dilemma of decisions. The driver brakes abruptly (resulting in potentially harming passengers on the bus) or passes through a signal light displaying a red signal. The need to introduce changes in the regulations that would allow the introduction of adequate solutions was pointed out. These are activities in the area of the active safety system in the operation of vehicles in road traffic. The need to provide advance information and change the provisions in applicable law has been demonstrated.

Summary
Risks of accidents for passengers of public transport buses in cities in traffic affect everyone in the European Union: in a Member State (e.g. Poland) as well as in neighboring countries. The purpose of the research is to analyze the dangers and assess the impact of the signal change (on the intersection signaling device, from green to yellow) on the possibility of injury to city bus passengers passing the intersection as a result of sudden braking. The subjects of the study are the drivers of city buses in public transport in cities Their individual features and restrictions resulting from regulations affect the safety system in bus operation. The authors discuss it in their works [7,8,9,10] dealt with the “dilemma zone” resulting from the existence of the yellow signal and the dangers caused by it This is a slightly similar subject matter, affecting all traffic participants. Questions arise: should the law take into account and anticipate extreme situations? What level of danger is acceptable and which is not? Should we accept solutions that pose a threat to health? Are we obliged to eliminate them from existing legislation? The above questions were the inspiration for the article
