But "only" within 1,000 feet of schools, childcare centers, public parks or playgrounds, recreational facilities, libraries, public transit centers, hospitals, and senior centers. Basically, everywhere there's a street light.

"It's for your safety"^TM

I thought I escaped this kind of stupidity when I left CA 15 years ago.

Again, we cheat Darwin

Ridiculous.


All they have to do now is post the fucking sign.

Kinda like the big deal over cell phone laws. We already had reckless laws.


Liberalism is indeed a mental disorder DC

This is another "gotcha" law. Kirkland had this mandatory "Turn Right" setup onto Lake St S when heading east on NE 85th St on outside lane at that intersection. There was just a bus stop-sized sign between 2 trees, with no arrows or barriers to direct. You had to catch the sign off at the side of the street at the right moment or you'd  miss it & go straight through the intersection without knowing that there was an issue. KPD would park at the other side of the intersection & write easy-money tickets all day. The city has since put up a turn-only barrier, but originally, it was intentionally deceptive by design.

This law is in that same vein. It has always been legal to turn R on red after stopping at an intersection if/when clear, & it's something everyone is familiar with. This will be a "secret" law, the state isn't going to put up signs at intersections. It's a cash grab, the benefits the local & state governments, & insurance carriers. It's a scam.

No cop, no camera, Free Right on Red.

Oh good, more pretext stops.

No cop. No camera. No reason to stop.

Surprise! CA came to you.

They pretty much just decriminalized hard drugs, so I think I'll just continue to do what ever the fuck i want.

Works great for left hand turns too!

How are you supposed to know what's in 1000 feet in any direction?

Didn't even get out of committee, who cares? Lots of dumb bills get introduced from legislators, call me when it gets legs

I care that shit like this is even being proposed. Stay aware.

Yep, like they say they want to reduce "gun violence" but tried to reduce drive-by shooting penalties.

You realize over 2000 bills were introduced in to the house or senate this session? I guarantee you there's a lot more dumber than this. Something in the low 100s make it to the governors desk.
