Turning right when the right-turn signal light is red is considered running a red light. According to Article 90 of the new "Road Traffic Safety Law," driving a motor vehicle in violation of traffic signal lights will result in a deduction of 6 points. To determine whether a vehicle has run a red light, electronic surveillance needs to capture three photos: the front wheels crossing the stop line, the rear wheels crossing the stop line, and the front wheels crossing the opposite stop line. According to Article 40 of the "Regulations for the Implementation of the Road Traffic Safety Law of the People's Republic of China": Lane signal lights indicate that when the green arrow light is on, vehicles in the lane are allowed to proceed in the indicated direction; when the red cross-shaped light or arrow light is on, vehicles in the lane are prohibited from proceeding. Article 41: The arrow directions of directional signal lights indicate left turn, straight, and right turn, respectively. If it is an arrow light, you cannot turn right when it is red; if it is a full-screen light, you can generally turn right when it is red. According to Article 38 of the "Regulations for the Implementation of the Road Traffic Safety Law": When the red light is on, right-turning vehicles may proceed provided they do not hinder the passage of released vehicles or pedestrians. If the right-turn signal light is a red arrow, the vehicle should stop behind the stop line and wait for the green light before proceeding. Turning right when the right-turn arrow is red is considered running a red light. If the right-turn signal light is not a red arrow, turning right is allowed. When the full-screen light is red, the following situations should be noted; otherwise, 6 points may be deducted. Special instructions prohibit right turns when the red light is on: If there is an auxiliary sign next to the full-screen light stating "No right turn when red light" or a no-right-turn sign, even if the full-screen light is red, right turns are not allowed. Violations will be penalized as running a red light, with a deduction of 6 points. When turning right, yield to pedestrians: Although right turns are allowed with a full-screen light, always remember to yield to pedestrians. Otherwise, a fine and a deduction of 3 points will apply. Straight lanes do not allow right turns: Right turns must be made from the right-turn lane or a lane that allows both straight and right turns. Right turns from a straight lane are not permitted.
