Can You Enter the Left-Turn Waiting Zone During a Red Light?

[SanAngela]

You cannot directly enter the left-turn waiting zone during a red light. Additional information is as follows: 1. Explanation of the reason: Entering the left-turn waiting zone when the straight-through signal is red may result in a fine or penalty points. According to the "Road Traffic Safety Law," this is considered driving without obeying traffic signal instructions, which carries a penalty of 6 points and a fine of 200 yuan. However, this depends on whether the intersection's traffic facilities are fully equipped and whether clear photos can be taken. Only with clear and complete photographic evidence will it be identified as a violation and penalized. 2. Solution: When waiting at a traffic light, if the straight-through signal is red, you must not enter the left-turn waiting zone. You can only proceed left from the left-turn waiting zone when the left-turn signal changes from red to green.
