Scruit Posted July 12, 2011 Report Share Posted July 12, 2011 (edited) The key is that the light was yellow when she crossed the stop bar. It turned red as she crossed the crosswalk. The way I see the video, the bus driver did NOT run the red light. The law does nto required you to stop for a yellow. Common sense? Another matter.Under ohio law, green = you may go if the intersection is clear. yellow = it's gonna turn red soon. red = do not cross the stop line. If you are in the intersection when it turns red then you continue through, because the other traffic cannot enter through their own green light if you are already in the intersection (see the green law). This is why you can enter the intersection on green or yellow and stage for a left turn. IF the ligth turns red while you are there then you complete your turn - side traffic cannot enter until you clear the intersection.The Ryder truck ran the red. The bus driver's ticket is bogus and would be easy to defend with this video.COTA rep = teh hawtness. Edited July 12, 2011 by Scruit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
