Does Following Traffic During Congestion Count as Running a Red Light?

[McKarter]

Even when following traffic during congestion, crossing the intersection when the light is red and being captured by traffic cameras will still be considered as running a red light. Criteria for determining a red light violation: Traffic cameras take 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 captured will it be considered a red light violation. Otherwise, the violation is not established. Even if mistakenly captured, you can apply for administrative reconsideration with the traffic authorities. Notification period for red light violations: You generally receive a notification message within 10 days for running a red light. Penalty points for running a red light: According to Article 2, Section 1, Clause 2 of the 'Scoring Standards for Road Traffic Safety Violations,' driving a motor vehicle in violation of traffic signal lights results in a 6-point deduction. Article 3, Section 1, Clause 8 states that driving a motor vehicle in violation of prohibitory signs or markings results in a 3-point deduction.
