Is it considered running a red light if the waiting turn area turns red and you proceed?
1 Answers
Entering the waiting turn area when it turns red is not considered running a red light. Vehicles that have crossed the stop line before the green light can continue to proceed. Below is an introduction to motor vehicle traffic signals and non-motor vehicle traffic signals: 1. When the green light is on: When the green light is on, vehicles are permitted to proceed, but turning vehicles must not obstruct the passage of straight-moving vehicles or pedestrians. 2. When the yellow light is on: When the yellow light is on, vehicles that have already crossed the stop line can continue to proceed. 3. When the red light is on: When the red light is on, vehicles are prohibited from proceeding. 4. At intersections without non-motor vehicle or pedestrian crossing signals: At intersections without non-motor vehicle or pedestrian crossing signals, non-motor vehicles and pedestrians should follow the motor vehicle traffic signals. When the red light is on, right-turning vehicles can proceed provided they do not obstruct the passage of other vehicles or pedestrians.
