[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]That particular area can be confusing because the barrier stops just before the McDonalds and often 2 or the 3 cars are sitting in the middle trying to make the turn into and out of the McDonalds.  Pay your fine and be a better driver in the future. Use it as a lesson learned. I never run a yellow light anymore after getting 1-2 red light tickets. I am a much safer driver now.[/quote]

If you ever get a red light camera ticket, the ticket has a link to a video and you should slow it down as much as possible and watch it. In my case, I was quite clearly in the intersection when the light turned red (but if you were watching the video at full speed, it was difficult to tell), so I called them up, told them to slow down the video, and they confirmed that they got it wrong and the ticket was voided without me going to court.[/quote]

Same for the stop sign cameras only in NW DC. And only guesses that you stopped on or after the first line, and most drivers stop twice, at first line and then nose out if clear to see if other traffic and bikes stop.  Fyi the bikes rarely stop at stop signs. [/quote]

Most drivers stop twice?  Hardly.  Most drivers do a "[url=https://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=california%20stop]California stop[/url]".  That's also why they get a ticket when they roll through.  Cyclists are legally allowed to slow and continue through if no other users are presently at the intersection (autos or pedestrians).[/quote]
