The Irvine Police Traffic Bureau receives numerous questions regarding the safe operation of vehicles in the City of Irvine. A person driving a vehicle in an exclusive or preferential use lane shall exit that lane immediately upon determining that the exit can be accomplished with reasonable safety. Therefore, vehicles should not stop in the number one lane or in the middle of the road. Clearing the roadway for emergency vehicles in a timely manner will enable safety equipment to be where they are in needed a lot quicker.
Power outages can occur at anytime.
When a power outage takes place, several blacked out or inoperative intersections can occur. These black outs or inoperative intersections are very dangerous due to the fact that not all people see the blacked out intersection and do not stop. After stopping at these intersections, please proceed with caution.
