Don't know about CA, but in this state, yes, a driver would get a ticket. Drivers are required to yield as long as they don't break a law.

Just as a side issue about remote monitoring of red-light runners ... One unintended consequence of cameras watching for people who run lights happened in Fremont about 2 years ago. A couple of stop lights were set up with cameras as an experiment. During the course of rush hour traffic one day at one of the experimental camera sites, an emergency vehicle was stuck behind several vehicles sitting for a red light. Apparently the fire truck was boxed in since the roads were several lanes wide and the truck was all the way over in a right lane. Lights and siren were blaring away. Q: Did any of the cars move out of the way of the fire truck and in doing so some would have to move through the intersection and thus thru the red light? A: No. Reason: No one wanted to get a ticket running the red light. Be rather ironic that the fire truck was responding to the home of someone sitting at that intersection. Just something to think about. Regards, Doug McKean ------------------------------------------- This message is from the IEEE EMC Society Product Safety Technical Committee emc-pstc discussion list.
