You cannot proceed if the light turns red after crossing the stop line. Below is relevant information about running red lights: Penalties for running red lights: Deduct 6 points and impose a monetary fine. Criteria for running red lights: According to the Road Traffic Safety Law, if you have already crossed the line when the yellow light is on, you can continue driving and it does not count as running a red light—this generally won't be captured by cameras. If the light turns red after your car has crossed the line and you wait for the green light, this behavior usually does not count as running a red light. However, if only the front of the car has passed while the body crosses the line when the light turns red, it is considered running a red light. One type is the induction line: as long as two-thirds of the car's weight has crossed the line before the red light turns on, it does not count as running a red light, because only one-third of the car's weight crosses the line when the red light is on, which does not meet the weight requirement for the induction line, so it won't be captured. Otherwise, it is considered running a red light.
