Since I was southbound on 235 (not turning) with a green light, I clearly had the right of way. The bimbo that blew through the yield sign clearly didn't, and she did not care.

I understand your interpretation of driving rules, but it is not supported in Maryland law:

(c) Same - Leaving intersection.- If the driver of a vehicle intends to turn left at any intersection or crossover, the driver shall, after entering the intersection or crossover, make the left turn so as to leave the intersection in a lane lawfully available to traffic moving in the same direction on the roadway being entered.

According to the law, if you turn left, you may enter any lane lawfully available. However, the law is clear that a driver must yield when there is a yield sign.

That is incorrect sir. The reason being that there is a YIELD sign and a dashed line in the right lane of 235. (An accelleration/merge lane would have a solid line) . I have the right of way turning left on Rt 4 on green and the right of way to safely cross the DASHED line to the far right lane. When you are turning right on Rt 235 from Rt 4 north, if the light at 235 is red, you are making a red turn on right. Red turn on right is allowed after "a full stop and yield to traffic". It not being right angle ,turn makes no difference it is still a right turn on red. I know I won't convince you but the ticket you get for failure to yield when your accident happens will!

Taken out of page 58 of the Maryland Drivers Handbook:

Left Turn: Four-Lane, Two-Way to
Four-Lane, Two-Way
 Get into the left lane on your side of
the highway well ahead of the turn.
 Signal your intention to turn for at
least 100 feet.
 Yield to oncoming traffic including
bicycles.
 Yield to pedestrians in crosswalks.
 Turn into the left lane going
your way.
 Don’t cut the corner or turn so wide that you get into the right
lane going your way.

Steady Red Signal
Stop — Come to a complete stop before reaching the intersection,
stop line or crosswalk and remain stopped as long
as the signal is red. You may turn right at a red signal after
coming to a complete stop, unless there are signs posted at
the intersection, which read “No Turn on Red.” You may
turn left at a red signal after coming to a complete stop
from a one-way street to another one-way street, unless
there are signs posted at the intersection, which read “No
Turn on Red.” When turning on a red signal, you must
yield the right-of-way to pedestrians and all other traffic.

You should have read further. Page 74 of the Maryland Drivers Handbook. The last sentence leaves little to the imagination, all means all. There was also an article in the ebnterprise 2 weeks after the original letter that clarified the right turn on red. As stated by the MVA in that article, all right turns on red on Rt 235 from any other street require yielding to traffic when posted. Be safe out there!

Crap. I don't know what to do when I'm turning south from 4 onto 235 at the intersection where Wawa is. If you stop at the "yield" sign, the people behind you get pissed. If you go, you're likely to get smooshed because of the people heading south on 235 that want to get in the right lane to go into Wawa. I got a loud honking today because I wouldn't proceed at the "yield" because there was traffic coming. I HATE that intersection.

Hey, #######. I know that there's no traffic on 235 that early in the morning (6:30) but there's no reason to gun it from the Tides to the light by Taco Bell. You had to be doing at least 100, because I was doing 75 behind you and you were still pulling away. I suppose being off-duty and having your wife with you isn't enough reason to speed, you were also jabbing your jaw on your cell phone.

####ing cop thinks he can do 100 on 235 because he's in an unmarked car. Where's the emergency? You're not going to respond with your wife in the car. Get a ####ing life, pig #####.
