Not to beat a dead horse, but I was referring to this;
"Two sets of solid double yellow lines spaced two or more feet apart are considered a barrier. You may not drive on or over this barrier, or make a left turn or U-turn across it, except at designated openings."
I should have been clearer. Is opposing traffic still supposed to pull over for emergency vehicle. No ticket or anything, just curiosity. |
Yes, you still need to pull over because sometimes we drive into the lanes of opposing traffic.

That ONE time, DECADES ago, when I went to traffic school: The officer told us, (specific to actual add-on to someones ticket I think), that HE decides when it was safe to pull over, and that's why he turns on his lights when he does. HE decides when it is safe for all parties involved to pull over.
So, when you are in a marked car, does it drive you crazy that everyone slows down in front of you, just because you are in a marked vehicle? I watched it last night driving home: we are all cruising along right at the speed limit, CHP comes up from behind, EVERYONE slows down 5-10 mph. I had to as well, flow of traffic and all. |
If I want a motorist to pull over
on the spot, I would just instruct them to do so over the PA system. Normally I can tell if a person is looking for safe spot to pull over, so I give them time to do it.
I do hate when traffic slows down like that. Normally I would exit the freeway, wait a few minutes and then merge back onto the freeway.
