Guest Line Judge Posted April 6, 2008 Report Share Posted April 6, 2008 Here is what a STEADY RED traffic light means: STEADY RED: Stop. Do not go until the light is green. If a green arrow is shown with the red light, you may go only in the direction of the arrow and only if the way is clear. You may make a right turn at a steady red light after coming to a full stop and yielding the right-of-way to oncoming traffic and pedestrians. You may make a left turn at a steady red light when turning from a one-way road into another one-way road after coming to a full stop and yielding the right-of-way to oncoming traffic and pedestrians. You may not make a turn at a red light if there is a NO TURN ON RED sign posted, or another sign, signal or pavement marking prohibits the turn. Also, turning on a red light is not allowed in New York City unless a sign is posted permitting it. Apparently this information isn't abundantly clear in this area.

Guest Reddi Kilowatt Posted April 6, 2008 Report Share Posted April 6, 2008 I was told when I took my driver's education course, that if a red light stay's red for too long, to treat it as a '4 way stop' look both way's, and then proceed if it's safe to do so. @ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unfortunately it is against the law right now, so just make sure you do a 360 degree visual scan for police cars and you should be in the clear. Don't worry about cameras, they can't get you a traffic ticket around here. Drive safe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the dumb white girl only had a fro , she could stick the cell phone in it and be legal . @ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Line Judge Posted April 6, 2008 Report Share Posted April 6, 2008 <sigh> cell phones, yes, but that's for another thread......they really need to work on the enforcement of that law........ when you see people yakking on the cell for 7-8 exits worth, then you know it's not an emergency....... Stop on red, then wait for traffic......maybe doing so without flippin off the people going through the intersection at the speed limit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Guest Posted April 7, 2008 Report Share Posted April 7, 2008 Red lights depend on where you are. If you are within 100 feet of a light turning red, you are to increase speed to get through the intersection. Go twice as fast if you are 200 feet away.

Guest Guest Posted April 7, 2008 Report Share Posted April 7, 2008 Forget the red light crap!

Guest Guest Posted April 7, 2008 Report Share Posted April 7, 2008 Here's a rule you teach your children when learning how to drive. If there was someone beating you with a large stick would you want them to STOP or SLOW DOWN? That should get the message through and hopefully make them understand the difference. @ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
