Aside from the CVC section, if you were to pass in the lane and become involved in a collision, you would most likely be found at fault.<BR/><BR/>Congestion is indeed a problem, especially near the schools. Best advice is to try alternate streets or adjust the leave time a bit. Ten minutes can make a huge difference on some streets.APD Sargehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11183113226106331424noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7098032507268812314.post-9337843036586690082008-04-22T17:26:00.000-07:002008-04-22T17:26:00.000-07:00This comment has been removed by the author.APD Sargehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11183113226106331424noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7098032507268812314.post-44601217111553657232008-04-22T17:05:00.000-07:002008-04-22T17:05:00.000-07:00Good question...here's the answer:Vehicle Code Sec...Good question...here's the answer:<BR/><BR/>Vehicle Code Section 21460.5(c) states:<BR/>" a vehicle shall not be driven in a designated two-way left turn lane... for more than 200 feet while preparing for a left turn."<BR/><BR/>So if your distance from the intersection is 200 feet or less, you may use the two-way turn lane for passing the stopped traffic to make a left turn. <BR/><BR/>Hope that helps!<BR/><BR/>Da GuruAPD CPT1https://www.blogger.com/profile/16420758035831220715noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7098032507268812314.post-42766587172213636642008-04-22T10:30:00.000-07:002008-04-22T10:30:00.000-07:00What about if the traffic is backed up and you wan...What about if the traffic is backed up and you want to turn left at the interestion up ahead and there are no other intersections in between? <BR/><BR/>Can a person use the Two Way left turn lane in order to get to the left turn lane up ahead to cut down on congestion? <BR/><BR/>Thanks for starting this blog.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00791848591189602321noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7098032507268812314.post-56458620189403825842008-04-15T17:35:00.000-07:002008-04-15T17:35:00.000-07:00Its great that your posting this type of informati...Its great that your posting this type of information on the net! People need better access to the police department, because it is just to difficult to call in to ask superfluous questions. Quite frankly, I feel like I'm bothering the police personnel, because it seems like it is pretty busy in Arcadia...at least from what I hear on my scanner. Hopefully, people will engage more with the police, as long as they keep it professional! Thanks for the info, I will make sure I tell my homeowners association.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
