The motorcyclist was driving in the lefthand lanes And runnig a red light. So they ticket the driver? By the way the car that hit him kept going.mthe poor ticketed schmuck was the one who stopped.
Recorded by a red light camera.
The driver got 2 tickets. Failure to yield and expired license.
I suspect he did not run a red light. It may be that the car drivers were turning left across on a green, but it was also green for the oncoming traffic as well. In that event, they were in the wrong, getting a failure to yield the right-of-way to the cyclist. I've seen plenty of poorly designed intersections like this.
In an Indiana city, in 1999, I saw one I wish I had a photo of. This was triple left turn lanes WITH left turn arrows allowing the choice of turning onto THREE lanes of freeway on ramp and FOUR lanes of frontage road across FOUR lanes of oncoming traffic, and TWO of right turning lanes. Hanging from each of the three left turn arrow signals was a sign that said (and I quote this verbatim as I got off the freeway a couple miles later at the next off-ramp, drove back to the intersection, re-read it, and then sat by the side of the road and wrote it down, I was so flabbergasted!)
EACH of the left turn lanes could turn into ANY of seven lanes. . .there were no lane markings indicating where any particular left turn lane should go. The second time I turned from that mess, the driver in front of me in the far left turn lane, went to the FAR RIGHT of the frontage road in front of TWO other left turners! Twice I saw drivers in the #3 lane, the right most left turn lane, enter the freeway lanes, crossing in front of left turners turning onto the frontage road! Both of whom slammed on their brakes and honked at the idiot! ARGGGHHHH! All this while on coming traffic was dodging them and the light was red for the left turners! During the six months I was in Southern Indiana I witnessed six accidents at that intersection. Every lane had it's own traffic light. . . sometimes hanging directly over your stopped car so you literally had to crane your neck up to see the light. I became convinced that Indiana traffic engineers flunked Kindergarten and then then designed these intersections.
