    Just read this on wikipedia, but considering the source I'd like verification since it is news to me... I'm not talking about whether or not it is a bad idea -- just the legality...

    thanks

    Found a lot of articles that say buses and Hazmat cannot turn on red but no regulation. There is a amendment in the ARK CDL handbook that says it is legal. So now I don't know for sure.

    Then that would be a local or state reg to AR. Not a FMCSR.

    With Hazmat, I would wait the few extra minutes. Could be a mess if you are in the middle of the turn and someone hits you.

    There is no Federal reg, possibly a State issue, but not Federal.

    I agree. Dont need a reg for everything, just a little common sense. The #### 4 wheelers do never cease to amaze me, so I would wait till i have the green light on my side

    Even with a non-hazmat load, you are not supposed to pull out until traffic is clear and you have a good line of sight for any approaching traffic.
