Questions & Help Am I able to continue on the highway on red?

Post image
• Upvotes

Every week I take this ramp but feel confused by what to do. There’s a limit line, traffic lights, and a solid line blocking merging. There’s also a sign that says I should turn right on the ramp but I feel compelled to stop and wait for the traffic light.
Do I stop at the limit line then proceed when safe to continue on the ramp? Do I just continue on the ramp no matter the traffic light?

Discussion Anyone notice the increased use of four-way hazard (emergency lights) by drivers?

0 Upvotes

Older driver here, I am wondering if anyone noticed this where there is an increased used of the four-way (emergency lights) from other drivers on the road?

Weird, but I feel like before if was if a car was having an issue, on the side of the road, caught in heavy rain or snow. I notice people are using it now then they are slowing down on the highway and even the main streets. Also, when people are taking turns.

I thought it was maybe a feature of the new cars but then I started seeing older cars doing it as well.

Just thought I would ask, not sure if the driving tests updated their use of it or not.

Questions & Help Who had the right of way?

Yellow car was already moving through the intersection, blue car was stopped right when the yellow car left.

Purple car started creeping when yellow car originally left.

Blue car turning left, purple straight.

Wisconsin laws apply.

Does the blue car have the right of way since it was stopped first or does it yield to the purple since they are on the right of the blue car?

Discussion Concrete Barricades Along EDSA Balintawak

0 Upvotes

Instead of widening major thoroughfares like EDSA, why are we installing long stretches of concrete barriers that narrow the roads and worsen traffic?

Traffic along this area used to be more manageable, especially southbound. Now, vehicles are forced to squeeze into just three lanes, causing daily congestion. The separate lane for private vehicles beside the EDSA busway also creates unnecessary lane changes as drivers try to maneuver around the barriers.

Has the traffic management autorities properly studied the impact of this traffic scheme before implementing it? If traffic is already this bad, imagine how much worse it will get in December

My parents gave me a ticket that says i got caught speeding in a school zone. Pictures of both signs are shown here. I was going 38 MPH at 4:29:01 PM when the lights WERE NOT flashing. I looked into google to see what i could do about it and it says its highly contestable because of me abiding to the sign that says "when flashing." Can I really contest this in court or will i be shaken down for $85 for a mistake on the schools part.

Traffic Updates First New Intersection on the Las Vegas Strip in 60 Years MovesToward Development

1 Upvotes

State Senator Fabian Doñate and Assemblymember Cecelia González will back state funding commitments to expedite road and infrastructure enhancements on the Las Vegas Strip.

LAS VEGAS, NV — State Senator Fabian Doñate (District 10) and Assemblymember Cecelia González (District 16) announced their support in the upcoming legislative session to expedite construction of the first new intersection on the Las Vegas Strip in 60 years, at Russell Road and Las Vegas Boulevard.

The intersection will be the first major exit from Interstate 15 to the Strip for northbound traffic arriving from California, and it will serve as the entrance to a new backside bypass road running from the I-15 and Russell Road exit to Tropicana Avenue. Both the new intersection and the bypass road are located in Senate District 10 and Assembly District 16.

Chetak Development is facilitating development of the intersection and the bypass road.

Accidents & Incidents Title: How safe are our roads at night? Who is accountable?

0 Upvotes

Tonight, while travelling from Amritsar to Chandigarh, I noticed stretches of road with barely any working streetlights.

We talk about reckless driving and road accidents, but what about poorly lit roads and inadequate police patrolling? How can people feel safe travelling at night when even basic safety measures may be missing?

Last year, my mother and I experienced a terrifying situation in Amritsar when two or three men in a car followed us around 3 a.m. It made me realise how vulnerable people can be when they're out on the road at night.

Functional streetlights and effective police patrolling aren't luxuries; they're essential for public safety.

Have you experienced something similar or noticed unsafe stretches of road? What should the authorities do, and who should be held accountable? Share your experiences and thoughts. This deserves serious attention.

Questions & Help Officer pulled me over for “no right on red” violation, and when I insisted there’s no way that was true, he wrote me a ticket for “no proof of insurance” instead and said I can just go to court to get it tossed. Is this worth mentioning to the judge? I’m in Clayton, Missouri

Questions & Help NYC Failure to Yield Ticket Dashcam Shows Pedestrian Signal Countdown, but Glare Obscures the Crossing

0 Upvotes

I received a traffic ticket in Brooklyn for allegedly failing to yield to a pedestrian while making a left turn. I have dashcam footage, but sunlight glare obscures the exact moment the pedestrian stepped off the sidewalk.

I entered the intersection on a green light and waited for oncoming traffic before turning. An adult and a child were standing near the crosswalk. My recollection is that I was already about halfway through my turn when the adult stepped off the sidewalk, but the footage does not clearly establish the timing.

The video shows the pedestrian signal displaying a stop hand with a countdown from 10 seconds. After completing the turn, my dashcam also captured the officer parked on the sidewalk near a gas station, with another car partially obstructing his view.

For experienced drivers, how would you assess this situation? Does the countdown signal help clarify the right of way issue, and how much does the glare affecting the key moment matter when reviewing the footage?

Traffic Cameras NL speed-camera ticket

2 Upvotes

Hey everyone,
I’m looking for some honest advice from people in Newfoundland and Labrador, especially anyone who has dealt with speed-camera tickets or appeared in traffic court in St. John’s.
I received a speed-camera ticket while driving on a highway through a construction zone at night. The posted speed limit was 50 km/h, and I was travelling over the limit. I received a significant fine and decided to contest the ticket online through DriveSmartNL.
It has now been over a month since I submitted my contest, but I haven’t received a hearing date or any update by mail. My payment deadline has not passed.
I’ve heard that traffic-court hearings have been adjourned indefinitely and that some people are contesting their camera tickets because of the delays. However, I don’t know how accurate this information is or what it means for my case.
I want to be realistic about my situation. I understand that I was over the posted speed limit, and I’m not claiming otherwise. I’m trying to understand whether contesting is still worthwhile, what my options are, and whether there is any possibility of a reduced fine or another resolution.
I’d really appreciate hearing from anyone with actual experience.
**A few questions:**
Has anyone contested a speed-camera ticket in NL recently? How long did you wait for a response or hearing date?
Has anyone actually had a speed-camera ticket dismissed or the fine reduced after contesting it?
Has anyone attended St. John’s traffic court recently, or had their hearing postponed indefinitely? What happened?
Since mine was on a highway in a construction zone at night, with a posted limit of 50 km/h, are there any specific things I should review in the evidence before deciding how to proceed?
If you were in my position, would you continue with the contest or consider paying the fine?
Is it worth contacting the court in person, or should I just wait for an official response?
I’m particularly interested in hearing from people who have gone through the process themselves, rather than relying on rumours.
Thanks in advance for any genuine advice or experiences. I’d really appreciate it!
