It's simple...IF she did this, the ticket is not valid...if she did NOT, then the ticket IS valid.

But this isn't a stop sign, it's a yield sign.
It's one of those right turns where, theres a little turn off on the right with a yield sign. This is NOT the same as facing a red light or stop sign.
This is where I'm confused, because I'm sure there's no requirement to stop behind the stop line (in fact, there IS NO stop line) if the latter condition "stopping if necessary" was in play.
SOMETIMES however, there are zebra crossings for pedestrians, but if there are no pedestrians theres no requirement to stop behind the crosswalk (you don't stop at pedestrian crosswalks if there are no pedestrians after all). Most people stop PAST the crosswalk near the merge point. How on earth can you get a rolling stop infraction for yield signs??
The only time you are required to stop before the crosswalk is when you're at a stop sign or red light.
I take back what I said in my last post. I don't see how this ticket can be valid.
