Does Stopping with Front Wheels Over the Line at a Red Light Count as Running a Red Light?

[MacSienna]

Stopping with the front wheels over the line at a red light does not count as running a red light. If the entire vehicle crosses the stop line and does not continue moving, it is not considered running a red light, but rather as stopping beyond the line. Running a red light refers to the act of a motor vehicle violating traffic signal instructions by crossing the stop line and continuing to drive when the red light is on, prohibiting passage. To determine a red-light violation, at least three pieces of photographic evidence are required: the vehicle has not left the stop line when the red light is on; the vehicle has passed through the intersection when the red light is on; the vehicle has crossed the line and continues to move forward when the red light is on. Article 26 of the "Road Traffic Safety Law": Traffic signals consist of red, green, and yellow lights. A red light indicates prohibition of passage, a green light indicates permission to pass, and a yellow light serves as a warning. Article 44: Motor vehicles passing through intersections shall proceed in accordance with traffic signals, traffic signs, traffic markings, or the direction of traffic police. Item 2 of the first paragraph of Article 2 of the "Points for Road Traffic Safety Violations" stipulates that driving a motor vehicle in violation of traffic signal instructions results in a deduction of 6 points per violation. Ways to avoid running a red light: When there is an arrow signal light, follow the arrow light; otherwise, follow the circular light; When the red light is on, the front of the vehicle must not cross the stop line; When the yellow light is on, the front of the vehicle must not cross the stop line; When the green light just flashes, if the distance is close and the speed is fast, you should proceed, as braking may not stop the vehicle in time to avoid crossing the stop line; if the distance is far, the speed is slow, or the intersection is congested, you should stop; When driving in the city, develop the habit of looking for traffic lights whenever you see a crosswalk or stop line and approach an intersection.
