Does running a yellow light that turns red when the car is in the middle count as running a red light?

Running a yellow light that turns red when the car is in the middle does not count as running a red light. It depends on whether the rear of the vehicle has crossed the line when the red light turns on. If the vehicle has just crossed the line and the driver does not continue moving, maintaining the original position, the traffic authorities will not consider it as running the light. There is a three-second transition period between the yellow light turning on and the red light turning on. Electronic police operate 24/7, but they do not capture images when the yellow light is on; they start capturing only when the red light turns on. If you accidentally run a red light but have already passed the stop line without completely crossing the intersection, the traffic police may cancel the violation based on the following conditions: 1. Stopping at the intersection without obstructing traffic; 2. Not affecting pedestrians crossing the crosswalk; 3. Not completely passing through the intersection. As long as these three conditions are met, stopping after running a red light will not result in a fine.
