S. B. Telegraph at Joy Road

Ticket trap – not speed trap. If you are going to turn right on Joy Rd from S. B Telegraph, be very careful. There is no right turn on Red allowed at that corner. It is posted – but since Joy Rd is not a very busy street I guess I did not think “Right turn on red” would be prohibited there. I did not see the sign and got a ticket for $110 and 3 points. That was my first ticket since the mid 70’s. I guess a good driving record is not a reason to give people a break – at least not to the DHPD. To give you a reference of where this is – it the corner where Randazzos is on the RHS past Joy RD. The officer said they are policing that corner very closely. Be Careful!!

FYI- the "No turn on Red" Sign is posted incorrectly based on State of Michigan Vehicle Code 257.612 see link http://www.legislature.mi.gov/(S(coqm0v45rig32z45o1kb1czp))/mileg.aspx?page=getobject&objectname=mcl-257-612&highlight= Read paragraph #5. This is nothing but a Money making corner for Dearborn Heights and a great way to keep the "un-wanteds" from surrounding cities to enter the sacred land of DBH. If you get pulled over here and the only sign posted is on the South West corner/ Randazzo side corner, you need to fight this ticket. I did and it was dismissed very quietly in the court room. I was the 8 th person called out of roughly 40 in the court room. Once I cited the 257.612 document the Magistrate said she needed to review my case and told me to have a seat. then proceeded to take the rest of the room charge them $140 each and then called me back up. I was the only one left and no one else could hear my case. Money trafficking at it's finest. and who is the one doing illegal actions?
