Is it a traffic violation if I go straight in a tidal flow left-turn lane?

[LondonLee]

This situation constitutes a traffic violation. All vehicles entering a tidal flow lane must drive according to the traffic light signals. If the lane shows a green light for going straight, you must proceed straight ahead, even if you intended to turn left. Otherwise, it will be considered a violation. Below is more information about tidal flow lanes: 1. A tidal flow lane is a variable lane. Based on different traffic flow conditions during morning and evening rush hours, cities set up one or more lanes where the permitted direction of vehicle travel changes according to the time of day on suitable roads. 2. Specifically, during the morning rush hour when there is more traffic entering the city, the number of lanes for inbound traffic is increased while the number for outbound traffic is decreased. Conversely, during the evening rush hour when there is more traffic leaving the city, the number of outbound lanes is increased while the number of inbound lanes is decreased. 3. Not all vehicles are allowed to use tidal flow lanes. It is reported that large and medium-sized trucks mistakenly entering a tidal flow lane will be fined 1,000 yuan and penalized with 3 demerit points.
