A California Highway Patrol spokesman compared it to failing to heed a stop sign.
A tattletale light on the back of a ramp meter can be seen across the 405 Freeway in Long Beach. Hi Honk: Would running a red light on freeway on-ramps be considered a moving violation? I see people doing this quite often on the 5 Freeway.
But on the back of a few ramp meters are other lights that turn on and off. Officers can sit down the roadway a bit and peer into their rearviews to spy any driver blowing through a red.The 5 Freeway in south Orange County has been undergoing construction since 2019 – more than four years now. Traffic attempting to enter and exit the freeway is completely disrupted at all hours. The on-ramps are nearly always backed up, and traffic is forced into two or sometimes one ramp lane.
The Orange County Transportation Authority is overseeing that $580 million freeway-widening project, which covers six and a half miles from El Toro Road on the Lake Forest-Laguna Hills border to the 73 Toll Road near the Laguna Niguel-Mission Viejo dividing line.
“It’s important to note … we have worked with Caltrans and the cities involved to keep all pre-existing freeway lanes open during daytime and peak hours throughout construction, and, similarly, all off- and on-ramps have remained opened,” Carpenter said.
