According to Article 38 of the Implementation Regulations of the Road Traffic Safety Law of the People's Republic of China, when the yellow light at an intersection is flashing, vehicles that have already crossed the stop line may continue to pass. If the yellow light is already on and you continue to force your way through, being caught by a camera in this situation will also count as running a red light. According to the relevant provisions in Article 10 of the Regulations on the Handling Procedures for Road Traffic Safety Violations, motor vehicle drivers who violate traffic signal lights at intersections will be penalized with 6 points. Additionally, according to the relevant provisions in Article 90 of the Road Traffic Safety Law, a fine may also be imposed. Criteria for determining running a red light: Electronic eyes will take three photos as the basis for determining a red light violation: 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. According to Article 11 of the Regulations on the Handling Procedures for Road Traffic Safety Violations, if you cross the stop line when the red light is on but manage to stop the vehicle even if you have already crossed the line, it will not be considered running a red light. However, it will be considered stopping beyond the line, and according to traffic laws, this is classified as driving or stopping at an intersection not in accordance with regulations, resulting in a 3-point penalty. How to avoid running a red light while driving: When there are arrow signal lights, follow the arrow lights; otherwise, follow the circular lights; 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 just flashes, if you are close and moving fast, you should pass because you might not be able to stop in time and cross 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, or encounter an intersection.
