Does a Malfunctioning Traffic Light Count as Running a Red Light?

[CalvinDella]

Running a red light due to a malfunctioning traffic signal does not count as a violation. If the violation was indeed caused by objective reasons such as a traffic light failure, you can file an appeal for reconsideration. Criteria for determining running a red light: Electronic surveillance cameras capture three photos as evidence for running a red light: the front wheels crossing the stop line, the rear wheels crossing the stop line, and the front wheels crossing the opposite stop line. Only when all three photos are present will it be considered running a red light. How to avoid running a red light while driving: Follow the arrow signal if available; otherwise, observe the circular light. When the red light is on, the front of the vehicle must not cross the stop line. When the yellow light is on, the front of the vehicle must not cross the stop line. When the green light starts flashing, if you are close and moving fast, you should proceed, as stopping might be difficult and could result in crossing the stop line. If you are far away, moving slowly, or the intersection is congested, you should stop. When driving in the city, develop the habit of looking for traffic lights whenever you see a crosswalk or stop line at an intersection.
