It is determined by capturing three photos through electronic cameras. The principle of electronic eyes capturing red-light running is as follows: when the red light is on When your vehicle's front wheels cross the stop line on the ground, the electronic camera takes the first photo of your vehicle. When your vehicle's rear wheels cross the stop line on the ground, the electronic camera takes the second photo of your vehicle. When your vehicle passes through the intersection and crosses the stop line on the opposite side, the electronic camera takes the third photo of your vehicle. Finally, the system (or manually) selects the clearest photo to enlarge and obtain a close-up of the license plate, solidifying the evidence. The act of running a red light is clearly stipulated in the "Road Traffic Safety Law." Article 26 states that 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. A red light is a traffic signal prohibiting passage. If a vehicle passes through an intersection when the red light is on, it constitutes the traffic violation of running a red light. The following points can help avoid running a red light: First look at the arrow light, then the circular light: There are currently two types of indicator lights: arrow traffic lights and circular indicator traffic lights. In the presence of an arrow light, first observe the arrow light and then the circular light to avoid running a red light. Note: When encountering a circular red light, you can turn right; when encountering an arrow signal light where the right-turn arrow is red, you cannot turn right, otherwise, you will be penalized for running a red light. Brake in time: When the red light is on, do not let the front of your vehicle cross the stop line. If the front wheels accidentally cross and the rear wheels follow, the electronic camera will capture it, and you will be penalized for running a red light. If the front wheels have just crossed the stop line when the signal turns red, do not proceed through the intersection; wait for the green light before proceeding. Check the green light countdown before proceeding: When the green light is flashing, if there is a countdown, you can judge based on the remaining time; if there is no countdown and you are close to the intersection with high speed, you may proceed to avoid running a red light due to untimely braking. If your speed is low and you are far from the intersection, brake immediately to stop and avoid running a red light. Article 38 of the "Regulations for the Implementation of the Road Traffic Safety Law of the People's Republic of China" states the following regarding motor vehicle signal lights and non-motor vehicle signal lights: When the green light is on, vehicles are permitted to pass, but turning vehicles must not hinder the passage of straight-going vehicles or pedestrians. When the yellow light is on, vehicles that have already crossed the stop line may continue to pass. When the red light is on, vehicles are prohibited from passing. At intersections without non-motor vehicle signal lights or pedestrian crossing signal lights, non-motor vehicles and pedestrians should follow the motor vehicle signal lights. When the red light is on, right-turning vehicles may pass if they do not hinder the passage of other vehicles or pedestrians. Running a red light is not considered illegal under the following circumstances: Yielding to special vehicles: Yielding to special vehicles such as ambulances or fire trucks. If you are captured by surveillance cameras while yielding to special vehicles, the act of running a red light will not be recorded during manual review. Even if recorded, you can apply for reconsideration at the traffic police department. Extreme weather: When visibility is very low, and even electronic police cannot clearly see the traffic lights. The photos capturing the violation may be blurry, and if you accidentally run a red light, the traffic police will not impose penalties. Emergency situations: When transporting a critically ill patient to the hospital, you will inevitably run many red lights, and 12 points will not be enough. After delivering the patient, the citizen can provide proof from the hospital or the rescued person to the traffic police for verification. If confirmed, the violation record can be cleared. If possible, it is best to call an ambulance to avoid accidents caused by running red lights. Traffic police command: During peak hours, traffic police may temporarily direct traffic at important intersections. Drivers should follow the gestures of the traffic police.
