How to Determine Running a Red Light in the Waiting Area?

[OParker]

Here are the criteria for determining running a red light in the left-turn waiting area: 1. Observe the traffic light: The left-turn waiting area is not always accessible; you must follow the traffic light. Otherwise, it is easy to cross the stop line and run a red light. 2. Vehicle priority order: The traffic lights at such intersections follow a pattern—"straight-moving vehicles proceed first, followed by left-turning vehicles." Therefore, vehicles entering the left-turn waiting area should first check the straight-moving light and then the left-turn light. If the straight-moving light is red, they are not allowed to cross the stop line or enter the left-turn waiting area. 3. Observe the road conditions: When the straight-moving signal turns green, you can enter the left-turn waiting area. Then, check the left-turn signal. If the left-turn light is red, you must wait in the left-turn waiting area. Only when the left-turn light turns green can you proceed with the left turn.
