Do I have to stop for a red light at a “T” intersection ?

Q: Do I have to stop my bicycle at a red light
at a “T” intersection ?
Cyclists with years of experience, or new riders,
often seem to wonder about running red lights at “T” intersections.
Some riders have been advising others that we
may run reds across a “T”.

A: It is illegal to run a red light.
It is possibly legal but unpredictable in the rare case where
a shoulder (not a Bike Lane) does not have a limit line.
(example SB 133 Laguna Canyon at Lake Forest) - otherwise
EXPECT others to stop at all red lights & don’t run red lights !
