Can I successfully fight a blocking an intersection 22526 CVC ticket?

Your argument might work. Get an attorney to fight this for you. Andrew Roberts

It depends. You were cited for "gridlock" in violation of California Vehicle Code Section 22526. That law says, in part, that a driver of a vehicle shall not enter an intersection UNLESS there is sufficient space on the other side of the intersection to accommodate the vehicle obstructing the through passage of vehicles from either side. Can you prove that there was sufficient space for you before you entered into the intersection? Perhaps there was a flow of cars coming from the opposite direction of your lane that were all making right-hand turns and somehow caused a bottleneck after you entered the intersection? It's a tough argument to make but it's within the realm of possibility that it could happen. Your best bet is to have an attorney fight the ticket for you but if you're trying to save money, it's probably not the right choice for you as this isn't a terribly expensive ticket (should be less than $300) and there will be no DMV Points counted against you if convicted. If you're going it alone, go to your arraignment & plead "Not Guilty." The judge will calendar you for a trial date - write that down and don't miss it! Come back to court for trial and try to disprove the officer's testimony that you violated the gridlock law. Best of luck!

Possibly. Bolster your chances by hiring a locally experienced criminal defense attorney.
