The length of a bus stop varies from block to block. A bus stop starts at the bus stop sign and goes in the direction of the arrow(s) on the sign until the next parking sign, or if none, the end of a block. The rule is in effect all days and all times. A driver can stop temporarily to drop off or pick up a passenger expeditiously but must not block an incoming or outgoing bus and leave the bus stop area immediately. A bus stop is a no-standing zone. So, you can't pick up personal property (only people). I firmly recommend not dropping off or picking up passengers at the bus stop.
