Is it possible to run a red light without being caught?

[Andy]

It is possible to run a red light without being photographed. Since running a red light is captured by electronic monitoring devices, which are prone to malfunctions (such as power outages), vehicles running a red light may not be photographed if the electronic monitoring device is malfunctioning or has no power. Based on the following points, you can avoid running a red light: Check the arrow light first, then the circular light: Currently, there are two types of traffic lights: arrow traffic lights and circular traffic lights. If there is an arrow light, check the arrow light first and then the circular light to avoid running a red light. Note: When encountering a circular red light, you can turn right; when encountering an arrow signal light with a red right-turn arrow, you cannot turn right, otherwise, you will be penalized for running a red light. Brake in time: When the red light turns on, do not let the front of your vehicle cross the stop line. If the front wheels accidentally cross and the rear wheels follow, the electronic camera will definitely capture it, and you will be penalized for running a red light. If the front wheels have just crossed the stop line when the signal turns red, do not proceed through the intersection; wait for the green light before moving. Check the green light countdown to decide whether to proceed: When the green light flashes, if there is a countdown, use it to make your decision. If there is no countdown and you are close to the intersection with high speed, you can proceed to avoid running a red light due to untimely braking. If your speed is slow and you are far from the intersection, brake immediately to avoid running a red light. Article 38 of the "Regulations for the Implementation of the Road Traffic Safety Law of the People's Republic of China" states the following for motor vehicle and non-motor vehicle signal lights: When the green light is on, vehicles are allowed to proceed, but turning vehicles must not obstruct the passage of straight-moving vehicles or pedestrians. When the yellow light is on, vehicles that have already crossed the stop line may continue to proceed. When the red light is on, vehicles are prohibited from proceeding. At intersections without non-motor vehicle or pedestrian crossing signals, non-motor vehicles and pedestrians must follow the motor vehicle signal lights. When the red light is on, right-turning vehicles may proceed if they do not obstruct the passage of other vehicles or pedestrians. Running a red light is not illegal under the following circumstances: Extreme weather: When visibility is so low that even electronic police cannot clearly see the traffic lights, the photos of the violation may be blurry. In such cases, mistakenly running a red light will not be penalized by traffic police. Emergency situations: When rushing a critically ill patient to the hospital, you may run many red lights, and 12 penalty points may not be enough. After delivering the patient, provide proof from the hospital or the rescued person to the traffic police for verification. If confirmed, the violation records can be cleared. If possible, it is best to call an ambulance to avoid accidents caused by running red lights. Traffic police direction: During peak hours, traffic police may temporarily direct traffic at important intersections. Drivers must follow the gestures of the traffic police. Yielding to special vehicles: When yielding to special vehicles such as ambulances or fire trucks, if the monitoring camera captures a violation, manual review will not record the act of running a red light. Even if recorded, you can apply for reconsideration with the traffic police department. According to Article 25 of the "Road Traffic Safety Law," vehicles must follow traffic signals, including traffic lights, traffic signs, traffic markings, and the direction of traffic police.
