In the part of Dallas County I live is an intersection shared with a railroad crossing.  Coming from one direction the railroad crossing arrives before the traffic light controlled intersection, with a right-turn lane.

The city put a sign up before reading the railroad crossing which reads, “Stop here on red light.”  Thus avoiding waiting for the traffic light with the possibility of being too close to the railroad track.  

Approaching the intersection the traffic signal was red, I procced to drive pass the sign, over the railroad tracks, and made the right turn.  Traveling down the subsequent road I noticed a police car behind me with emergency lights in full bloom.

I pulled over the side of the road thinking perhaps he was on his way to an emergency and I will get out of the way.  As I pulled over, so did the police officer.   When he approached my vehicle he informed me I went through a stop sign and made an illegal right turn.  We engaged in polite conversation for a while and he left me go with a warning.  I being the dope learned my lesson to be extra vigilant in observing and noticing all road signs.
