Are there speed regulations for cars passing through traffic lights?
1 Answers
There are no specific speed limits at traffic light intersections, but the speed should not exceed the posted limit for that road. If the traffic light is located at a crossroad or a turn, the speed should not exceed 30 mph, typically ranging between 30 and 60 mph. Precautions for driving at traffic lights: The primary meaning of a red light is to stop. Check if there is a sign prohibiting right turns on red at the same level as the traffic light. If there is no such sign at the intersection, right turns on red are allowed, but safety must be ensured. If such a sign is present, stop behind the line until the light turns green before completing the turn, also ensuring safety. If there is no such sign, check both sides of the pedestrian crossing (directly ahead) to confirm no pedestrians are crossing before proceeding. If the situation with vehicles on the left is complex, stop. Precautions for stopping at traffic lights: Always be aware of changes in traffic lights and pedestrians on crosswalks to prevent accidents, especially when large trucks are passing by. Due to their height, trucks may temporarily block the view of traffic lights, so extra attention is needed. Stop at the line, wait for 3 seconds regardless of the presence of pedestrians or other vehicles, as the red light means stop first.
