Pedestrian almost gets hit by truck, multiple cars drive through a red light, but at least the pedestrian and I had a nice little interaction afterwards lol.

You can hear the pedestrian say "RED LIGHT!"

I look over at him and he says "What just happen?"

That's when I put my window down to talk to him.

Both of us were so confused.

u/Hour-Example1920 Feb 04 '23

That was a funeral procession. The cars have yellow placards hanging from their mirrors. Should have flags honestly.

238

u/lmarksart Feb 04 '23 edited Feb 04 '23

OOHHHH. Okay that makes more sense. I couldn’t fucking see the yellow tags inside of their car. I’ve never actually even seen those before ever. Normally we have flags that go on the outside of their car. It’s also hard to see at first because I have a giant sign that is blocking my left side too. Welp, now I’ll know for next time.

96

u/Hour-Example1920 Feb 04 '23

I don’t blame you. I instantly assumed procession but I really had to zoom in to see the placards. Easily missable.

u/Doses-mimosas Feb 04 '23

This is a thing? 30 years of driving in America and I've never seen/heard of yellow placards indicating a funeral procession. I've seen the flags on the sides of cars, but even going back and rewatching the footage those tags are really difficult to make out. Good way to keep the funeral homes in business I suppose...

85

u/Kingslugger Feb 04 '23

In my town they usually get a police escort that blocks out a light or intersection but it might not be the same everywhere.

14

u/Doses-mimosas Feb 05 '23

Yeah that definitely makes more sense, and I've seen it with the Hurst driving up front with flags, and then some other black vehicles with flags throughout the following vehicles in the procession also. I think I would've made the same mistake as OP here, probably even honking and making myself look like an asshole

u/genericnewlurker Feb 05 '23

The only funeral procession I drove in, everyone just out blinkers on. I still stopped at the one red light that I got caught in.

They do. I live on a cemetery route. If they don’t have an escort, they stop.

u/PEBKAC69 Feb 05 '23

I mean, I'd rather we have an official escort... but it's kinda an abuse of government resources, given this is done to accommodate someone's religion at everyone else's expense.

They're dead. There's no emergency. There is no justification to blow off traffic signals.

u/NikkoJT Feb 05 '23 edited Feb 05 '23

I'm pretty sure the lead vehicle has to stop, and it's just that the rest of the procession is allowed to continue if the light changes before they're all through, to avoid splitting the procession. Convoy rules.

e: Aight well I guess the secret committee has ruled me wrong. Love to hear some explanations or literally any reason to downvote me but OK, you do you

1

u/juu073 Feb 06 '23

The first car in the procession has to stop at a stop sign or red light, which is usually the hearse so it's more noticeable what's going on, but then all cars behind them get to go straight through.

1

u/Blanco932 Feb 07 '23

Maybe I'm over stepping, but just thought of this... I still think it's the procession's bad on this one. If what you say is true, I think that's super valid... But drive left a block between them and the car in front. Y'all got be tight if you pulling out 'convoy law', maybe? No more than 3 car lengths at the sloppiest, right? ¯⁠⁠_⁠(⁠ツ⁠)⁠_⁠/⁠¯

In my city I live less than 2 miles from a cemetery and it is also right next to one of the main roadways in and out of the city. Just yesterday I had to sit for 3 light cycles for two different funeral processions. I only know because I saw both hearses.

5

u/CosmicCreeperz Feb 05 '23

Yeah I have never heard of this either, and I have been in a few processions. We would have lights on and led by a police escort with its lights on - if you make sure you stay behind the car in front of you it’s pretty obvious.

Very true! Thanks for pointing that out though. I’ll know for next time!

Are they above the law in the US? You shouldn't cross them in my country but they can't ignore the traffic laws

2

u/lmarksart Feb 06 '23

In the US normally it’s allowed for them to go through a red light for the funeral procession. At least that’s what I’ve learned. But they barely had any indication that it was a funeral procession so I had no idea at first.

9

u/Melissandsnake Feb 05 '23

I think it’s bullshit. I don’t know of any law that says they are absolved from following a red light, especially if they don’t have a police escort that would clearly indicate for others to stop. However I don’t think there should be any “funeral processions.” Just…drive to the cemetery…put the address on your gps. Outdated, dumb and in this case dangerous.

u/ardentfanman Feb 05 '23

Agreed. Like not stopping at a few lights in any way helps the grieving process. It's just dangerous and dumb

The irony of running red lights and risking people's lives to maintain a funeral procession to honour a dead person...

64

u/Hour-Example1920 Feb 04 '23

I agree. I’ve witnessed procession accidents right in front of me in the same way it almost happened to OP. They really need to get a grip on these things.

They can change the traffic lights for emergency vehicles but not for dozens of vehicles in a procession? Makes no sense.

20

u/IPlayWithElectricity Feb 04 '23

So I used to work for DOT fixing traffic lights. No one is changing the traffic lights for emergency vehicles, it is a system that either uses an infrared strobe or a radio transmitter. The system costs about $10k per vehicle to install, plus about $20k per intersection.

10

u/Hour-Example1920 Feb 05 '23

Thanks for the information. Never knew this. With that being said, it would seem smart to always have a police escort to trigger the lights.

u/Broccolini_Cat Feb 05 '23

Cool! So for $10k I’ll never have to get stuck behind a red light again? Sweet!

It's a stupid law. We just saw how a funeral procession could create a new funeral with that pedestrian. Either those drivers are not following the laws of their state correctly or that state has laws that were more appropriate for the 1900s.

3

u/upbeat_controller Feb 05 '23

Well, yeah. In my state (MI) funeral processions have right of way over all other vehicles (except emergency services), but each vehicle must have an orange flag stamped with either a cross, Star of David, or crescent and star. Because obviously there are only three religions, and every dead person must have belonged to one of them 🤦‍♂️

u/escdog Feb 05 '23

And it is an ancient law from 75 years ago. That's just a little nuts today. I suppose the satanic temple could have a little bit of religious protest with a funeral procession complete with a flag featuring baphomet. It'd probably be a non-event though.

u/ClutchPoppinDaddies Feb 04 '23

Most states are stupid and they need to change that immediately. How is that even remotely a smart idea?

1

u/EV-CPO Feb 05 '23

Just because it's on the internet doesn't make it true. Every single funeral procession I've been in (which have been many in the general Northeast US), the funeral home makes it abundantly clear that even though we're in a procession, you MUST obey all traffic laws, including traffic lights. And here are the directions in case you get separated. Now if there's a police escort and the police run ahead and block off the intersections, that's different.

5

u/No-Produce-6641 Feb 05 '23

People seem to think they can break traffic laws while in a funeral procession. My dad once inadvertently ended up in one and the lady behind tried to pass him on a double yellow.

u/xSARGEx117x Feb 05 '23

There's nothing I'd like more than for people to honor me after I die by coasting 20 miles to a cemetery, inconveniencing every single person who now has to wait 5 minutes for the cars to mosey on by.

Nah just chuck me on a pyre and let the rain wash the ash away.

2

u/pinks1ip Feb 05 '23

People who participate in funeral processions are stupid and selfish, anyway. Running red lights is just their way of driving that point home.

Of the few times I've had to attend a funeral with that service, I've opted out of the procession specifically because it creates unnecessary traffic and danger.

2

u/biancanevenc Feb 05 '23

I've only driven in the funeral procession when we were burying a family member and I knew I would be one of the first few cars behind the hearse. One other time I ended up in the procession for a friend's funeral, but I was fully prepared to stop at red lights. The funeral home had us taken a longer route to the cemetery because it minimized traffic problems for the procession.

Disagree that people who participate in funeral processions are stupid and selfish, but agree that processions create unnecessary traffic and danger and should be limited to immediate family.

u/Adventurous_toast23 Feb 04 '23

Ok. I was honestly just as confused as OP. Still stupid though.

u/do0tz Feb 04 '23 edited Feb 04 '23

I thought the same thing after watching it, but couldn't see flags... So really, this funeral home is at fault for not supplying visible flags. Usually they all have their flashers on too, but it's hard to see in daylight.

This definitely did not appear to be a funeral procession, but that's what it is....

ETA: you can see ONE car (I think the 3rd. Silver sedan) has their flashers on. No one else does. Usually there is a police escort to block intersections which should definitely have been done here. That first car literally stops, let's 1 car through, then accelerates. That's a huge fault on the procession. The funeral home did not do their job.

6

u/SomethingIWontRegret Feb 04 '23

They're at fault for breaking traffic laws. A stupid flag doesn't grant you right of way.

16

u/do0tz Feb 04 '23

there are laws in place. so, they aren't breaking traffic laws. What they are doing is not signaling properly for a funeral procession. As I stated, flashers are a direct indication that they are in the precession, but only 1 (one) vehicle had their flashers on.

So, yes, a flag does grant you right of way. Everyone else needs to signal correctly, though. The biggest mistake is the car on video didn't continue with the rest or the line when the light turned red, causing confusion for the other vehicles at the crossroads.

11

u/SomethingIWontRegret Feb 04 '23

They were also out of contact with the lead vehicle (assuming it was actually a procession) and therefore no longer part of it.

3

u/do0tz Feb 04 '23

That's what the end of my comment says. They stopped at the light instead of continuing, causing confusion for the rest of the intersection.

10

u/SomethingIWontRegret Feb 04 '23

I read up on this in the last 15 minutes lol and State laws vary so much that an out of stater would have no idea whether or not to yield and what to yield to. Some States like mine have no laws covering processions, so they have no right to violate normal traffic laws.

You also said they weren’t breaking traffic laws. But they were, since they were no longer in the procession. A few random cars just deciding to “catch up” later is extremely dangerous and not legal.

The funeral procession isn't breaking laws. The person who stopped is. That's exactly what my comment says.

u/IkLms Feb 06 '23

The only justification I've ever heard is that it helps keep people who may not be familiar with the area from getting lost. But in the days of GPS that makes no sense and even before that it could have been solved by just putting the people on a bus to the cemetery from the funeral home and then back after the service.

2

u/IkLms Feb 06 '23

Highway ones absolutely piss me off to no end. I used to live between a funeral home and the cemetery they typically went to on the highway and so many times I would be getting to where I needed to merge for my exit right as they are all entering the highway and I either had to come to a complete stop on a highway which I wasn't going to do or merge left to try and gun it to get in front of the procession so that I could then merge and exit, to spin around and go backwards on the other side to my exit because they'd militantly not allow you to merge through to get to your exit.

Completely unnecessary and often really dangerous driving by the people involved. Often in rural areas you also run into the asshats on a 2 lane who think that funeral procession means opposing traffic should pull over and stop "to show respect for the dead" and will swerve at anyone not doing it.

In my state, any one of those licensed drivers could choose to take control and direct traffic.

Biker group rides do this all the time and are within the law as long as it's done safe and proper.

No matter how late I'm running, I still stop and let them go by. Think of how your grieving family would feel if, on one of the saddest days for them, some yahoo was honking and screaming at them because they felt like they were more important.

It's a simple courtesy.

There's also time management and planning behind it. The funeral director, the church, and the cemetery all have to be paid and I'm sure time is a part of that. Having to wait for people to stagger in because you couldn't wait a minute or two could cost more than what the family has to pay the bills.

But based on the tone of your comment, that's not something you could understand anyways.

If time is the concern, rent a fucking bus and bus people between the locations.

Funeral processions are absolutely idiotic.

right? Almost got hit by a truck, 10 feet away from him.

Then he bitches about a funeral procession and proceeds to try and cut them off before stopping.

BECAUSE they’re supposed to have police escorts. He didn’t know it was a procession until reading comments here since we are able to play the video back AND he didn’t have prior knowledge to the yellow placards that mean it’s a funeral procession. Bottom line is though is that they should’ve had a cop in the intersection to block traffic so this kind of confusion doesn’t happen

I hate people like this, “I’m going to make all of you miss the light just so one extra person can make it through”

u/Juggernuts777 Feb 05 '23

I can’t really understand the audio. Was there a light malfunction?? Or were all these people just.. emboldened by the first idiot??

The pedestrian and I were super confused. But someone in the comments clarified that it was a funeral procession and that’s why they were going through the red light. Except there weren’t any police escorts and they didn’t have flags on the outside of their cars. They had yellow tags on the INSIDE of their cars.
