A citation is very helpful. But, also, not admissible evidence of liability.
I'd give you a link, but I forget if it is in traffic code or the insurance code.
A citation from an officer is pretty persuasive in negotiations, but actually not admissible at a trial to prove negligence/liability.

If you have the green arrow it means you have the right of way.

Yeah
stonecougar
