Reminding people to turn into the nearest legal lane is great. In this town, I look both ways at a roundabout, and I'm just happy when people stay on their side of the center line.
99% of drivers make this mistake.
This is a waste of blinker fluid.. 😊
I can remember, way back when... a YPD officer breaking this rule... tail-ending a truck (it was red) and then trying to ticket the truck... even though it was that officer's fault.
And ima still do it wrong
Don’t forget to look for pedestrians crossing before you turn.
Yakima Police Department this is good information but not all your officers do this it's funny that because they're a police officer they think they're Above the Law and don't have to drive like the rest of us
Saturday night I was almost hit by a driver who wasn’t paying attention in a 4 way and I was first and when I move and speeds towards me 😅
Sad this has to be posted its literally in the test to get your license people now a days don't car cops included yakima is crazy anymore
yakima cops don’t even follow the traffic laws
Ironic how cops don't follow this rule. And how they play on their computer whike driving and talk on their cellphone. Official business you argue? Does Official business make it less dangerous or less illegal?
Hey so can you guys do one with people merging onto the high way at 35-40 miles an hour? Please and thank you. Sincerely, Almost killed by semi
I was traveling northbound on 3rd Avenue and Walnut when I came to a complete stop and made a legal free right turn into the nearest lane. I checked for traffic in both directions and proceeded exactly as the law requires. Despite this, a YPD officer immediately initiated a stop and claimed it was due to a vague “safety concern.” The officer had been turning left from the southbound left‑turn lane. By law, he was required to enter his own nearest lane. Instead, it appeared he intended to cut across into the far lane — the lane I had already lawfully entered — and used his authority to cover for what would have been an improper turn on his part. The stop was not supported by any traffic violation on my end. When I asked him to explain the legal basis for the stop, he was unable to articulate one. His explanation shifted, he hesitated, and only after noticing that I was recording did he back away from his original claim. He then requested my license despite having no legitimate cause to detain me, which raises serious civil‑rights concerns. A stop without reasonable suspicion is unconstitutional, and demanding identification under those circumstances is a misuse of authority. The encounter delayed me on my way to work and served no legitimate public‑safety purpose. It was an unnecessary and unjustified stop that appeared to stem from the officer’s own improper driving maneuver rather than any action on my part.
You can't teach common sense to a county full of drivers without any.
This is especially important on S 40th ave because many people use BOTH lanes to turn left onto Washington, and it can be a nasty surprise if you're not paying attention.
