South Hill on W. 25th Ave. after Lincoln toward N. High Dr.
I just contested my ticket for "Failure to reduce speed at intersection". This is a speed trap set along W. 25th Avenue after crossing Lincoln heading toward N. High Drive. You basically have to yield! or slow down to15mph when entering a 4-way intersection where there is no yield or stop signs. The traffic commissioners give the officers quite a bit of leway in making errors in "location" on the traffic citations. The prosecutor stated that many have contested the same mistake at this particular location on South Hill. I am presuming the officer positions on the intersections heading southbound across W. 25th Ave. They reduced my ticket to a non-moving violation and $100 fine from $124. They did not consider the error in location as a "gross error of highway location" since it was only a few blocks in difference. ("we all make mistakes, we’re just human"). This is not a fair representation of our constitutional rights and I told the prosecutor that and I could see he agreed but remained silent. That error should have been the key ingredient to dismissing the ticket.
