Does Following Traffic in Congestion Count as Running a Red Light?
1 Answers
Following traffic in congestion does not count as running a red light. The traffic police department states that according to the "Regulations for the Implementation of the Road Traffic Safety Law of the People's Republic of China," vehicles that have already crossed the stop line when the yellow light at an intersection is flashing may continue to pass. However, if the yellow light is already on and a vehicle forcibly continues to pass, being caught in such a situation would be considered running a red light. Criteria for determining running a red light: Electronic cameras capture 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. How to check for red light violations: Common methods include the following: You can check for red light violations through the "Traffic Management 12123" app. After opening the app, log in using your ID card, then find and click on the traffic violation handling option. In the violation handling section, you can see the current status of your vehicle. If there are any violations, the specific details will be displayed. Alternatively, you can visit the service halls of the traffic police departments in various cities and districts to check using touch-screen terminals. Another method is to log in to the external service websites of the public security traffic management bureaus of various cities, find the vehicle violation query section, enter your license plate number and vehicle engine number, and click to query.
