    Question VC 22101-D Multiple Contradicting "Signage"

    My question involves a traffic ticket from the state of: CA
    cited 10/26/09 at the carpool exit on Figueroa/Adams (Downtown LA).

    I made a left turn from the #2 lane. The lane had a painted right and left arrow on the pavement. The light had green arrows going in both right and left direction.

    The officer claimed there were two signs posted indicating that left turns could only be made from the far left lane because of construction. The officer claimed the construction had been going on for 9 months now.

    This was a traffic stop pit! The officer was pulling over people one after another, handing out tickets like they were hotcakes - - it is obviously misleading everyone!!!

    Do I have a case to dispute when there is contradicting signage?

    Were there signs indication that it was illegal to make a left turn? If so, where are those signs placed in relation to the intersection/traffic light?

    Take pictures and post them here for clarification... But also use those pictures to take to court if you choose to fight this.

    I know that exit and at the very least it's not a clear t-intersection exit to navigate (even without on-going construction). Like That Guy said, try to take some pictures...it'll be tough, because it's a freeway exit. Make sure you take plenty of pictures of all the signs restricting or directing the flow of traffic. That information should help you decide whether you want to fight your case.

    Sorry to sound pessimistic, but you most likely don't have a case. It doesn't mean you can't go through the process of fighting the ticket.

    I forgot to mention...provide some more detail (preferably photos) and I'm sure there are plenty of knowledgeable posters that can provide you with some advice.
