According to the relevant regulations of the "Road Traffic Safety Regulations of the People's Republic of China", in the absence of special traffic instructions (such as traffic signs or police instructions), motor vehicles are allowed to turn right at a red light without being considered as running a red light violation. However, when there are traffic signs prohibiting right turns or when the red light is on, right turns are prohibited. Below are the specific details: Precautions for right turns: Turn on the right turn signal in advance. Check the rearview mirror to confirm that the following vehicle is at a safe distance, and be careful not to drive over the solid line. Turning right at a red light is considered running a red light: According to the latest revision of the "Regulations on the Application and Use of Motor Vehicle Driving Licenses", running a red light results in 6 penalty points and a fine. Running a red light refers to the act of a motor vehicle violating the prohibition of passage during the red light phase at a signal-controlled intersection or road section, crossing the stop line and continuing to move. It is recommended to slow down in advance when approaching an intersection to maintain a safe distance from large vehicles, allowing time and space to observe the traffic lights. If you have already crossed the stop line, do not reverse, as this may easily lead to a collision with following vehicles or pedestrians.
