If the traffic light is broken, you can still be caught for violations. As long as the surveillance cameras are functioning normally, all illegal activities will be recorded. Criteria for determining running a red light: The electronic eye captures three photos as evidence for running a red light: the front wheels crossing the stop line, the rear wheels crossing the stop line, and the front wheels crossing the opposite stop line. Only when all three photos are present will it be considered running a red light. How to avoid running a red light while driving: When there are arrow signals, follow the arrow lights; otherwise, follow the circular lights; When the red light is on, the front of the vehicle should not cross the stop line; When the yellow light is on, the front of the vehicle should not cross the stop line; When the green light just starts flashing, if you are close and moving fast, you should proceed, as you might not be able to stop in time and could cross the stop line; if you are far away, moving slowly, or the intersection is congested, you should stop; When driving in the city, develop the habit of looking for traffic lights whenever you see a crosswalk or stop line, or when approaching an intersection.
