Illegal U-turn Camera fines in San Francisco?
Find answers to your legal question.

So here is the scenario. I am from out of town and do not live in the US, but travel there often and was driving a rental car. I refueled the rental at the last exit before the SFO airport. I ended up making an illegal u-turn. I had to stop at a set of lights to then turn right to make it back to the 101. When I was at the lights I saw a strobe light flashing. I am sure it was a camera going off. Kind of like a red light camera for running red lights. I believe the intersection was E Millbrae Ave and Rollins.
Does anyone know of cameras for illegal u-turns and if so how would that work with the fine. Would they just send it to the car rental company and then they would send me bill? Can I try to fight it? Can they even send me the ticket since I am not the licensed owner of the vehicle? Also how much is an illegal u-turn fine in the San Fran area.
Thank you in advance for any information someone can provide.

sometime the strobe light is for emergency vechiles to make the signal
turn green for them or its a camera for the city to film traffic in the area
and how do you know the turn was illegal;
did you know you are allowed to make U-turns at signalized intersection

Unless there is a sign say NO -turn

as for your question the ticket will be mailed to the rental agent
then the rental pays the ticket by charging your credit card for
the violation if thee was one)

The fine for that violation including all fees is $146.00 dollars....the rental car company will get the fine and then it will be passed on to you..
