Can I proceed if I've already crossed the line when the left-turn signal turns red?

In this situation, you can proceed without it being considered a violation. Relevant laws and regulations: Article 38 of the "Regulations for the Implementation of the Road Traffic Safety Law" states: (1) When the green light is on, vehicles are permitted to pass, but turning vehicles must not hinder the passage of straight-going vehicles or pedestrians that have been given the right of way; when the yellow light is on, vehicles that have already crossed the stop line may continue to pass; when the red light is on, vehicles are prohibited from passing. Therefore, passing through an intersection or "dragging the tail" when the light is red is a violation. Qualified drivers should anticipate in advance and avoid "rushing the yellow light." Specific situations of running a red light: If captured by surveillance cameras, the party involved will be required to confirm the violation at the traffic police station, and points will be deducted from their license; if no one acknowledges the violation, the vehicle management office will prevent the vehicle from undergoing its annual inspection until the violation is resolved.
