Understanding Driver Responsibility Under California Law
Legal commentary by Emile Davis, Esq.A major road closure like this often means a serious collision, often with injuries. It is important to allow emergency vehicles to pass to gain access. Unfortunately, the barriers erected to block or reroute traffic are sometimes confusing, or are not done in conformity with local and state regulations. This can lead to further incidents involving pedestrians, bikes, or motor vehicles.
