Can you proceed when the light is red in the waiting area?

[Gabrielle]

When encountering a red light in the left-turn waiting area, you cannot continue driving. According to the "Regulations for the Implementation of the Road Traffic Safety Law of the People's Republic of China": Article 38: The meanings of motor vehicle signal lights and non-motor vehicle signal lights are as follows: 1. When the green light is on: Vehicles are permitted to proceed, but turning vehicles must not obstruct the passage of straight-moving vehicles or pedestrians. 2. When the yellow light is on: Vehicles that have already crossed the stop line may continue to proceed. 3. When the red light is on: Vehicles are prohibited from proceeding. At intersections without non-motor vehicle signal lights or pedestrian crossing signal lights, non-motor vehicles and pedestrians should follow the motor vehicle signal lights. When the red light is on, right-turning vehicles may proceed provided they do not obstruct the passage of other vehicles or pedestrians.
