Does crossing the line during a yellow light count as running a red light?

Crossing the line during a yellow light does not count as running a red light. Electronic traffic enforcement typically requires at least three photos as evidence to determine a red-light violation, which are then reviewed by traffic police before a final determination is made. The three photos must show: first, the vehicle behind the stop line when the red light is on; second, the vehicle's front wheels crossing the stop line; and third, the entire vehicle having completely passed the stop line. If these three photos demonstrate that the vehicle moved beyond the stop line while the red light was on, the traffic police can confirm it as a red-light violation. Traffic lights, also known as traffic signals, are indicators that guide vehicles and pedestrians on when to proceed or stop. They are usually installed at intersections and other locations requiring traffic control, and generally consist of red, green, and yellow lights.
