My question involves a traffic ticket from the state of: California
I was initially ticketed for making an illegal u-turn. i was on a dead end street. i later phoned the seargeant of the police department and stated that there were no "no u-turn" signs. he phoned back later and said the officer made a mistake, and would be changing the ticket to impeding traffic.
and sure enough i got the corrected ticket in the mail... by the way there was no "traffic flow" and i made the turn in a safe manner, however, clearly they want the ticket to stick... so looking at the traffic code violation it states....
22400. (a) No person shall drive upon a highway at such a slow speed as to impede or block the normal and reasonable movement of traffic, unless the reduced speed is necessary for safe operation, because of a grade, or in compliance with law.
No person shall bring a vehicle to a complete stop upon a highway so as to impede or block the normal and reasonable movement of traffic unless the stop is necessary for safe operation or in compliance with law.
my question is... does the california road code define "highway"? clearly i was on a dead end side street and wondering if this code is even applicable to what i "supposedly" done? any thoughts?
