Stop Sign's and White Lines

That has to be the most ignorant thing I have ever heard of anyone getting a ticket for. "Bumper Cop" is probably too scared to do real police work. Probably just another scam for a local municipality to make some money!!!

 

Intruding into the white line at a stop sign will fail you on a Texas CDL road test. It is the same as running a stop sign.

 

CoffeeMan, I think they really had a trap set up for you. That white line drawn diagonally is kind of a trap in itself. I can see how you might want to go beyond the white line to get a better view of the traffic on the left. You can bet the 4 wheelers go beyond that line frequently.
That big Loves truck stop opened in Italy about 3 years ago. I am sure the mayor and city council welcomed the Loves with open arms for sales tax revenue. Now perhaps, Italy is tired out of all the truck traffic. If Italy didn't want the truck stop there, they should have rejected the plan in the beginning. I would send the mayor of Italy a friendly email voicing your complaint. Mayors can have police officers fired. The police officer in question may have complaints against him already. Also, I would consider having a local Italy attorney fight the ticket and maybe get charges dropped or reduced.

 

That line is draw diagonally so that trucks can turn onto the service road and not be blocked by stopped traffic. Some people seem to forget how to approach a stop sign. First you stop in front of the stop sign. Once you've come to a complete stop,you can pull forward to scan for cross traffic.

 

In my neighborhood, your lucky if people even stop at stop signs.

 

In my neighborhood we don't even have stop signs

 

Yeah, I hear ya. I posted the wrong street view. It should have been the SB side where the Taco Bell is. Still, it is a nit picky ticket.

 

PA as well. That white line does actually have a purpose. You ran over it, you failed to stop appropriately. You deserve the ticket. Pay attention next time.
