What Determines Where a Vehicle Enters an Intersection?
Posted: Wed Jun 17, 2020 2:15 pm
Q: (from other forum) Along the lines of who entered the intersection first, where is the line that determines where a vehicle enters an intersection? The imaginary crossing curb line? The imaginary crossing fog line? The imaginary crossing edge of pavement? Crosswalk? Stop bar? I did a quick search of the archives and didn't see anything on point. Maybe the answer varies by state?
A: What we've found in general is:
Also many local govts had to pay all legal fees for complainers AND only got 10% or so of the proceeds from the tickets.
Wish they'd bring them back and the speed bandits too! They provided a LOT of video coverage of who ran the red light/was speeding/etc!

A: What we've found in general is:
- 1. If a stop bar THAT represents the start of the intersection for any vehicle in that lane
2. if NO stop bar then an extension of the curb line is used
3. If no curb, then an extension of the pavement/lane line
- If front tire on or before the line, you're OK, if not TICKET!
