Can I proceed if the traffic light turns red while I'm halfway through a left turn?

If you are halfway through a left turn and your vehicle has already crossed the stop line before the red light turns on, you can continue the left turn without it being considered a violation. If the yellow light is on, the vehicle should stop and not cross the stop line, and when the red light is on, passage is prohibited. Otherwise, it is a violation. 1. Extended information: Traffic lights are internationally unified traffic signals. A red light is a stop signal, and a green light is a go signal. At intersections, vehicles from several directions gather here, some going straight, some turning, and it is the traffic lights that dictate who goes first. When the red light is on, going straight or turning left is prohibited, but turning right is allowed if it does not hinder pedestrians or other vehicles. When the green light is on, vehicles are permitted to go straight or turn. When the yellow light is on, vehicles should stop at the stop line or within the pedestrian crossing, unless they have already proceeded. A flashing yellow light warns vehicles to pay attention to safety. 2. Driving precautions: Maintain a calm and relaxed mindset. Before hitting the road, actively ease your mood, and while driving, you can appropriately play some soothing music to keep yourself in a pleasant and relaxed mental state. Stay calm when encountering problems, avoid impatience, so as not to "lose your head," otherwise even minor road issues could lead to serious traffic accidents.
