Is it okay to make a right turn from a straight and left turn lane?

If there is no right turn signal light, then you don't need to obey the traffic light when making a right turn, so it's not considered running a red light in the first place. However, if there is a dedicated right turn traffic light and you make a right turn when it's red, then you commit two traffic violations. Below is relevant information about running red lights: 1. Six situations of running red lights: stopping immediately after crossing the stop line at a red light; running a red light under the direction of a traffic officer; stopping after the entire vehicle body crosses the line at a red light; reversing after stopping beyond the line; 'accidentally' running a red light when following a large vehicle; proceeding through an intersection when the light is yellow. 2. Penalty rules: Regardless of the reason, running a red light is punishable by law. To determine if a vehicle has run a red light, three photos are used as evidence. On October 8, 2012, the Ministry of Public Security revised and issued the 'Regulations on the Application and Use of Motor Vehicle Driving Licenses,' increasing the penalty points for violations such as disobeying traffic signal lights from 3 to 6 points.
