SB 1132: Vehicles: right turn violations.

Existing law requires a driver facing a steady circular red signal alone to stop at a marked limit line, but if none, before entering the crosswalk on the near side of the intersection or, if none, then before entering the intersection, and to remain stopped until an indication to proceed is shown, except as specified. A violation of this that provision is an infraction punishable by a fine of $100.

This bill would, beginning January 1, 2020, revise and recast those provisions, and instead would make a violation of that the requirement for a right turn, or a left turn from a one-way street onto a one-way street, an infraction punishable by a fine of $35. up to $100 pursuant to the general Vehicle Code provisions described above. The bill would make additional conforming changes. The bill would also make a statement of legislative findings and declarations.
