Is it permissible to proceed if the traffic light turns red after the vehicle has already passed the stop line?
1 Answers
If the vehicle has already passed the stop line when the traffic light turns red, it may continue to proceed. When the green light is illuminated, vehicles are permitted to pass. The "Regulations for the Implementation of the Road Traffic Safety Law of the People's Republic of China" stipulate the following: Green light: Vehicles are permitted to pass, but turning vehicles must not obstruct the passage of through traffic or pedestrians. Yellow light: Vehicles that have already crossed the stop line may continue to pass. Red light: Vehicles are prohibited from passing. At intersections without dedicated non-motorized vehicle or pedestrian signals, non-motorized vehicles and pedestrians should follow the indications of the motor vehicle traffic signal.
