Typically I would never design a sign as you describe. It would be one or the other plaques, not both. Do you have photos of all of the signs leading up to where you were pulled over?
Also, make...
Ok. Thanks for the info. I've emailed the clerk and the ticket hasn't been entered into the system yet. I'll get that later.
I think you should read the original post again.
Sounds like just headlights and a turn signal (single blinker).
Also, I would find it hard to believe that a single turn signal would be...
Yeah, I'm not familiar with discovery procedures. I searched online and found a previous case where a woman in Oakridge was found guilty of speeding and tried to raise a defense about the city not...
My question involves a traffic ticket from the state of: Tennessee
I'm trying to help a friend with this. She was traveling east on Hillcrest Drive in Knoxville TN....
You'll have a tough time winning this. I looked at the location and there are signs everywhere that read "No Turns".
Can you provide the exact location?
Take a current photo of that intersection. The google street view is from 2013. The tree is most likely larger now and could be covering the sign.
go and record video of the lights in operation. The first traffic light should give you about 4 seconds of yellow time if the road is signed for 45mph.
Seems like 14-232 doesn't apply. You have an exception.
What is the exact location?
Where is the road? Can you provide a google map link?
"Sec. 545.101. TURNING AT INTERSECTION. (a) To make a right turn at an intersection, an operator shall make both the approach and the turn...
Is this the intersection?

Can you explain exactly what happened? I'm confused by your post. Were you facing a steady green signal when you made your left turn?
There are many factors that go into roadway design and the speed limit (horizontal & vertical curves, sight distances, pedestrians, adjacent parking, number of entrances, etc...). The point I was...
That looks like 4 to 6 feet to me, based on the width of a typical lane being 11 to 12 feet or a car being around 5'9" wide.
Speed limits are generally based upon the design of the road.
That's the actual statement? with "John Doe" and Infraction #"1234ABC" etc...
How do you know if the driver that hit you had a red light? Many intersections have split phasing for the traffic signals, where the southbound traffic signal will be red but the northbound will be...
Assuming it was dry, 100 yards seems fine to me. I've always used the 3 second rule for following. 60mph is 88fps, so 264feet. less than 300ft. Seems safe to me.
If you had a green arrow instead of a green ball.
What does your ticket have written on it? Can you scan a copy of it and post a photo? (tinypic.com is helpful with doing this)
The part that is applicable to you is underlined

Signage is adequate.
It looks like they are restricting left turns from the ramp because of the short distance to merge over 3 lanes. Most likely there have...
By taking the exit ramp, you've already complied with the sign. You have exited the highway.
By the bridge you are on what's called a "C-D Road" collector-divider.
thanks for the update
