Is it a violation to turn right from a straight lane when all lights are green?
1 Answers
Turning right when all lanes have a green light is considered a violation, as it constitutes driving not in accordance with the designated lane. When motor vehicles pass through an intersection controlled by traffic signals, they should enter the guiding lane according to the intended direction of travel at intersections with marked guiding lanes. If a vehicle going straight enters a left-turn or right-turn lane, electronic surveillance will immediately capture the violation. There are three main types of violations for not driving in accordance with the guiding lane: 1. Going straight by borrowing the left-turn lane; 2. Turning left by borrowing the straight lane; 3. Making a right turn arbitrarily from either the left-turn or straight lane. Traffic signals are lights that direct traffic flow, generally consisting of red, green, and yellow lights. A red light indicates prohibition of passage, a green light indicates permission to proceed, and a yellow light serves as a warning.
