That's an interesting intersection ...

Assuming "up" is "North" ...

Looks like "B Street" is one-way northbound south of the intersection, but two-way north of the intersection ... and "2nd Street" is one-way westbound.

So, a complete stop in the left (west-most) lane at the red light northbound on "B", followed by a left-turn into the left (southern-most) lane of "2nd" should be a legal maneuver.

Except that running into pedestrians in the crosswalk (not shown?) is probably not considered a fair encounter.

Assumptions:
1) she was turning left from the left lane into the left lane
2) you were in the crosswalk

Even if there isn't a fully lined official crosswalk, I think in most states there is an assumed crosswalk at every intersection where pedestrians are present.

Keep us posted, Bill. It's fascinating to watch our legal system at work.

Of course, this *IS* Northern California we're talking about, so all bets are off ...
