Folsom-Auburn Road near Greenback Lane
Intersection is known to have the trafic lights turn red in all directions and stay this way for 10 minutes. Do not go through the light thinking the lights are broken, or you will immediately be followed by a police car that comes from nowhere to give you a red light violation. The explanation is that the lights are cycling through a change (whatever that means). The officer stated that you should sit there until the lights change to green for you to go, as the lights were not flashing red. This has happened periodically at different times in the day. The time I was cited was at 5:00 AM on a Sunday morning of Memorial Weekend. Two Police cars happened to appear from nowhere after I had sat at the light for 5 minutes and then realized the light must be broken and slowly made my way across the intersection with no other cars viewable in all directions. I experienced the same scenario at 2 PM in the afternoon on a Saturday and 5:00 PM on a week night during rush hour. Cars were backed up to Hwy 50 on Folsom Blvd. During times of heavy traffic drivers treat the intersection as broken and take turns as if at a four way stop. However, this is not correct per the Officers on patrol.
