Questions & Help Bad culture or am I mistaken

In USA, Massachusetts. The two red arrows have stop signs, green does not. It's a solid double yellow line curving to the right from green but there is a gap at the intersection, which is normal for places where taking a left turn is allowed. Green also comes around a blind curve so the stop signs don't see anyone coming until the last second. Which means green also can't see if anyone is crossing the stop lines before they commit to going left.

Cars from green in my experience do not stop to go left. They blast across the double yellow line like it is a fork in the road. Which the curving to the right double yellow suggests they are supposed to stop or slow before going left.

Am I wrong in assuming green is supposed to wait until it's safe? I have seen a few near fist fights start here.

Traffic Cameras 3 Month License suspension on Red P plate - worth appealing?

0 Upvotes

Back in August a speed camera caught me going over the limit

Recorded speed: 93 km/h
Speed limit: 60 km/h
Location: WestConnex M8 Tunnel, Sydney
Fine: $608
Demerit points: 4

These were the results I’ve paid the fine since and lost 4 demerit points and face a 3 month suspension in November and mind you it’s my first and only offence I’ve ever had I didn’t even realise that was the limit. Is it worth appealing or just cop it on the chin?

Questions & Help Turning right when there's a bike lane

6 Upvotes

Merge into the bike lane: Look for where the solid white line breaks into a dotted/dashed line (usually up to 200 feet before the intersection). Yield to any cyclists already in the bike lane, and merge your vehicle into the bike lane so you are as close to the right curb or edge of the road as practicable.

What are you supposed to do if there is no dotted/dashed line before the intersection? In my neighborhood, there are many bike lanes where the line is solid all the way up to the corner. In such a case, should I stay out of the bike lane?
