Driving a motor vehicle in violation of traffic signal regulations, such as running a red light, results in a deduction of 6 points and corresponding fines. Here is additional information: Composition: Traffic signals consist of red, green, and yellow lights. When the green light is on, vehicles are permitted to proceed, but turning vehicles must not obstruct the passage of straight-moving vehicles or pedestrians. When the yellow light is on, vehicles that have already crossed the stop line may continue to proceed. When the red light is on, vehicles are prohibited from proceeding. Relevant regulations: Article 24 of the Road Traffic Safety Law states that, in addition to imposing administrative penalties in accordance with the law, the traffic management department of the public security authority implements a cumulative points system for motor vehicle drivers who violate road traffic safety laws and regulations. For motor vehicle drivers who accumulate points up to the specified threshold, the traffic management department of the public security authority will detain their motor vehicle driving licenses, provide them with education on road traffic safety laws and regulations, and require them to retake the test. If they pass the test, their motor vehicle driving licenses will be returned.
