Does entering the left-turn waiting zone when the light suddenly turns red count as running a red light?

[BlakelyDella]

If the left-turn arrow light is red, a motor vehicle making a left turn is considered to have run a red light. Here is relevant information about the left-turn waiting zone: 1. The correct way to handle a left-turn waiting zone: The left-turn waiting zone is only for vehicles making a left turn. When the straight-through light in the same direction is green, although the left-turn light is red, left-turning vehicles are allowed to enter the intersection and wait in the left-turn waiting zone. They can proceed through the intersection when the left-turn signal turns green. 2. Whether points will be deducted: No points will be deducted; it is a legal operation. Based on the description, if a vehicle enters the left-turn waiting zone when the light suddenly changes from green to red (even without a yellow light transition), as long as the vehicle passed the stop line when the light was green, it can continue to proceed according to the relevant regulations in the "Implementation Regulations of the Road Traffic Safety Law." This does not count as running a red light.
