Do auxiliary roads need to wait for traffic lights?
1 Answers
Auxiliary roads need to wait for traffic lights. When entering the main road from an auxiliary lane, drivers must observe the straight-through traffic signal of the main road. Only when the signal light turns green can vehicles enter the main road. Methods for checking traffic signals when entering the main road from an auxiliary lane: If there are no traffic lights when entering the main road, you can turn on the left turn signal and follow the flow of green-light traffic into the main road. If the auxiliary road has turn signal lights, you must obey their instructions. Generally, these lights primarily allow auxiliary lane vehicles to directly enter left-turn lanes. If intending to turn left and proceed straight on the main road, merging is permitted when the green light is on, but attention must be paid to main road traffic. Consequences of running a red light on auxiliary roads: Running a red light on auxiliary roads will result in a fine and 6 penalty points. According to the "Road Traffic Safety Law of the People's Republic of China": Article 38: Vehicles and pedestrians shall pass in accordance with traffic signals; when traffic police are directing traffic on-site, they shall pass according to the police's instructions; on roads without traffic signals, they shall pass under the principles of safety and smooth traffic flow. Article 90: Motor vehicle drivers who violate road traffic safety laws and regulations regarding road passage shall be given warnings or fines. Where this law provides otherwise, punishment shall be imposed accordingly.
