SAN ANDREAS STATE LEGISLATURE

LEGISLATION INDEX

  1. DRIVER LICENSES & PERMITS

    1201.) No person under the age of 16 years may obtain a driver's license.
  2. DRIVING EXEMPTIONS

    1202.) Public employees, motor vehicles, and other equipment while actually engaged in work upon the surface of a public road, or work of installation, removal, repairing, or maintaining official traffic control devices, are exempt from this title.
     
    1203.) The driver of an authorized emergency vehicle is exempt from this title if the vehicle is being driven in response to an emergency call and the driver of the vehicle sounds a siren as may be reasonably necessary and the vehicle displays a lighted red lamp visible as a warning to other drivers and pedestrians. This section does not relieve the driver of a vehicle from the duty to drive with due regard for the safety of all persons using the public road, nor protect him from the consequences of an arbitrary exercise of the privileges granted in that section.
  3. PUBLIC ROAD MARKINGS

    1204.) Upon all public roads, a vehicle shall be driven upon the right half of the roadway.
     
    1205.) Yellow lines in the center of the road divide directions of traffic. Dashed white lines in the road divide lanes of traffic.
     
    1206.) A single white line across the roadway perpendicular to the direction of traffic indicates a requirement to come to a complete stop at the line, if there are pedestrians attempting to cross. This includes the first line in front of a marked crosswalk.
  4. VEHICLE RIGHT OF WAY

    1207.) The driver of a vehicle approaching a four-way stop intersection shall yield the right-of-way to any vehicle which has entered the intersection from a different direction. When two vehicles enter a four-way stop intersection from different directions at the same time, the driver of the vehicle on the left shall yield the right-of-way to the vehicle on his or her immediate right. Shall be charged with the applicable Title IV charge. (EX: Reckless Driving, Negligent Operation of Vehicle, Vehicular Endangerment)
     
    1208.) The driver of a vehicle intending to turn to the left or to complete a U-turn upon a public road, or to turn left into public or private property, or an alley, shall yield the right-of-way to all vehicles approaching from the opposite direction which are close enough to constitute a hazard at any time during the turning movement, and shall continue to yield the right-of-way to the approaching vehicles until the left turn or U-turn can be made with reasonable safety. Shall be charged with the applicable Title IV charge. (EX: Reckless Driving, Negligent Operation of Vehicle, Vehicular Endangerment)
     
    1209.) The driver of any vehicle about to enter or cross a public road from any public or private property, or from an alley, shall yield the right-of-way to all traffic close enough to constitute an immediate hazard, and shall continue to yield the right-of-way to that traffic until he or she can proceed with reasonable safety. Shall be charged with the applicable Title IV charge. (EX: Reckless Driving, Negligent Operation of Vehicle, Vehicular Endangerment)
     
    1210.) Upon the immediate approach of an authorized emergency vehicle which is sounding a siren or which has at least one lighted lamp exhibiting blue or red light that is visible, the surrounding traffic shall yield the right-of-way and shall immediately drive to the right-hand edge or curb, clear of any intersection, and thereupon shall stop and remain stopped until the authorized emergency vehicle has passed. Shall be charged with the applicable Title IV charge. (EX: Reckless Driving, Negligent Operation of Vehicle, Vehicular Endangerment)
     
    1211.) The driver of a vehicle shall yield the right-of-way to a pedestrian crossing within any marked crosswalk or within any unmarked crosswalk at an intersection. Shall be charged with the applicable Title IV charge. (EX: Reckless Driving, Negligent Operation of Vehicle, Vehicular Endangerment)
     
    1212.) If, upon approaching a junction containing traffic lights, the traffic light displays a red light, the driver must stop before the white perpendicular line or last perpendicular line of a crosswalk. The driver shall yield the right of way to any and all vehicles before proceeding through the junction. If the traffic light displays a yellow light that is going to a green light, then it is to be treated as a green light. If the traffic light displays a green light, the driver is not required to stop, and may pass through the intersection without stopping. Shall be charged with the applicable Title IV charge. 
     
    1213.) Within the State of San Andreas operators of motor-vehicles must observe safe vehicle operations around stationary emergency vehicles. Drivers are required by law to move to an adjacent lane when passing a stationary emergency vehicle. If moving to an adjacent lane is either not possible or not safe, the driver must slow their vehicle to 30 MPH before passing the stationary emergency vehicle. This is to ensure the safety of emergency personnel and property.
  5. VEHICLE IMPOUNDS / TOWING / LICENSE SUSPENSIONS

    1214.) Vehicle Impounds for certain offenses shall be detailed within this section as to when it is acceptable and when other means are warranted in the following list;
     
    Any vehicle involved in the commission of a crime, and/or to which the owner of said vehicle has been arrested. May be converted to seizure, if suspect is sentenced to life or given a death sentence. Otherwise impounded until the release of the suspect, or at least until the end of a 48 hour period since the arrest occurred.  Court sentencing may apply impounds and seizures at their discretion.
      Any vehicle/owner who has accumulated four or more traffic-related fines, within the timespan of one week. May be retrieved after a total of seven days have passed since impoundment.
      Any vehicle that is illegally imported into the United States. Automatic seizure of the vehicle, and a federal arrest warrant for registered owner issued.
      If a vehicle does not meet the definitions above to be impounded/seized, but is somehow causing a hindrance through other traffic-related offenses, the vehicle is authorized upon officer discretion to be towed to a safe location to remove the disruption. (EX: Parking Violation)
     
    1215.) License suspensions, unless specifically dictated otherwise for specific traffic-related offenses, may be issued after a certain number of offenses on a particular charge have been accumulated on someone's record. These suspensions may last no longer than seven days, and may only be issued after the 3rd offense of a specific charge upon officer discretion. This shall be applicable to all charges listed under Title IV.
