TRAFFIC LAWS FOR LOCAL SCHOOLS
Additional
Vehicle code sections:
- 21951 cvc: Vehicles stopped for
pedestrians: If a vehicle is stopped for a pedestrian all vehicles to
the rear of that vehicle shall also stop and not pass the stopped vehicle.
- 21952 cvc: Yield right of way to
pedestrians on sidewalks: Before crossing a sidewalk the driver of a
vehicle shall yield the right of way to any pedestrian approaching on the
sidewalk.
- 21954 cvc: Pedestrian outside the
crosswalk: Pedestrians outside the crosswalk shall yield to all traffic
so close as to be a hazard. (The vehicle now has the right of way but still
must drive with care for the pedestrians in the roadway.)
- 21461a cvc: Disobeying a
regulatory sign or signal: It is illegal to disobey any regulatory sign
or signal (No U turn signs, etc. This covers the no left turn signs from the
drop off lots, and the no right turn on red signal when children present
signs)
- 22103 cvc: U turn in
residential district: It is illegal to make a u turn in a residential
district when a vehicle is approaching in either direction within 200 ft.
- 22102 cvc: U turn in business
district: It is illegal to make a u turn in a business district when a
vehicle is approaching in either direction within 200 ft.
- 22400a cvc: Impeding traffic: No
person shall stop in the roadway unless necessary for safety, in compliance
with the law, so as to impede traffic and its regular flow. (This means no
double parking or off loading children. This is not only illegal, but it
is unsafe. Think what would happen if you were rear-ended while unloading
your children in the street. This also means no blocking the
intersection when the signal changes. Remember
if you can’t proceed through the intersection because traffic is backed
up, wait on the far side of the intersection until traffic moves and you can
go through the intersection.)

intersection: It is illegal to stop in an intersection and block it when
the signal turns green for opposing traffic.

park in a red curb or signed no parking zone. $20.00 fine.
- 22500b cvc: Stopping, Standing, or
Parking in a crosswalk: It is illegal to stop, stand, or park a vehicle
in a crosswalk. This is because you block the crosswalk and make the
pedestrians walk in the street to get around your car. $20.00 fine.

18 inches from the right curb: Also known as double parking. $20.00
