How Many Meters of Reversing at Traffic Lights Constitutes a Violation?
1 Answers
Any act of reversing is considered a traffic violation. Reversing at a traffic light intersection will result in a 3-point penalty. Relevant details are as follows: Introduction to situations where reversing is not allowed: According to the Road Traffic Safety Law, reversing is prohibited in areas such as railway crossings, intersections, one-way roads, sharp turns, highway bridges, tunnel construction zones, steep slopes, etc. Violators may be penalized. Criteria for determining reversing at traffic light intersections: If a vehicle has just crossed the stop line during a red light but immediately stops, traffic authorities will not impose a penalty. However, if there is noticeable movement after crossing the line, the driver will be penalized. The three photos taken by traffic cameras for running a red light are: the vehicle crossing the stop line, followed by two more showing the vehicle moving to the middle of the intersection and reaching the opposite side. Handling conflicts between traffic signals and police gestures: When there is a conflict between traffic signals and police gestures, drivers must follow the on-site instructions of the traffic police. If a driver "runs a red light" due to police instructions, they can obtain a diversion certificate from the local traffic police station to avoid penalties.
