Is it a violation to pass after the yellow light turns on?
1 Answers
Passing after the yellow light turns on is considered a violation, known as running a yellow light. It is not advisable to accelerate when the yellow light is on, as this can easily lead to traffic accidents. When you are far from the yellow light, you should slow down and proceed with caution. Additionally, keep a safe distance from large vehicles to avoid rear-end collisions caused by sudden braking. Lastly, you can observe the countdown timer on the traffic signal to determine whether it is safe to proceed. Criteria for running a red light: When traffic enforcement officers collect evidence of red-light violations, they generally require at least three photos as proof—taken before the vehicle crosses the stop line, after crossing the line, and upon entering the intersection. If the vehicle stops immediately after crossing the line and does not move further, the traffic authorities will not classify it as running a red light.
