    Default Re: Failure to Stop at Stop Sign Ticket at an Intersection When the Traffic Light was

    Although the citation should have been for VC 21800(d), it is correct that you are to treat an intersection as if it's a four-way stop if it's normally controlled by a traffic signal, but the signal is blacked out or inoperative. You can try using the incorrect citation as a defense, assuming the ticket is not amended prior to the hearing.
    Quote Quoting VC Sec. 21800(d)
    (1) The driver of any vehicle approaching an intersection which has official traffic control signals that are inoperative shall stop at the intersection, and may proceed with caution when it is safe to do so.

    (2) When two vehicles enter an intersection from different highways at the same time, and the official traffic control signals for the intersection are inoperative, the driver of the vehicle on the left shall yield the right-of-way to the vehicle on his or her immediate right, except that the driver of any vehicle on a terminating highway shall yield the right-of-way to any vehicle on the intersecting continuing highway.
