Found it. Here is the relevant part. One issue is, is a bike a 'vehicle'
(d) An operator of a vehicle facing only a steady red signal
shall stop at a clearly marked stop line. In the absence of a stop
line, the operator shall stop before entering the crosswalk on the
near side of the intersection. A vehicle that is not turning shall
remain standing until an indication to proceed is shown. After
stopping, standing until the intersection may be entered safely,
and yielding right-of-way to pedestrians lawfully in an adjacent
crosswalk and other traffic lawfully using the intersection, the
operator may:
(1) turn right; or
(2) turn left, if the intersecting streets are both
one-way streets and a left turn is permissible.
(e) An operator of a vehicle facing a steady yellow signal
is warned by that signal that:
(1) movement authorized by a green signal is being
terminated; or
(2) a red signal is to be given.
(f) The Texas Transportation Commission, a municipal
authority, or the commissioners court of a county may prohibit
within the entity's jurisdiction a turn by an operator of a vehicle
facing a steady red signal by posting notice at the intersection
that the turn is prohibited.
(g) This section applies to an official traffic-control
signal placed and maintained at a place other than an intersection,
except for a provision that by its nature cannot apply. A required
stop shall be made at a sign or marking on the pavement indicating
where the stop shall be made. In the absence of such a sign or
marking, the stop shall be made at the signal.
(h) The obligations imposed by this section apply to an
operator of a streetcar in the same manner they apply to the
operator of a vehicle.
(i) An operator of a vehicle facing a traffic-control signal
that does not display an indication in any of the signal heads shall
stop as provided by Section 544.010 as if the intersection had a
stop sign.
So the traffic law cited is txtrc544007(d). I am having a hell of a time finding a place where I can get the detail.
I was on the shoulder on highway 620 at a three way stop -- a T if you will. I rode across the top of the T, on the shoulder, and recieved a ticket for running a red light.
My question is, what are the laws here? I was on the shoulder, not on the road. I did not cross traffic.
Should I fight this one?
