Is running a red light captured by photographing the vehicle or the person?
2 Answers
Running a red light will capture the license plate, but not the people inside the vehicle. The command center receives the images and compares the license plate information with the vehicle management office's data to retrieve comprehensive vehicle information, such as the owner, model, color, etc. This information is then entered by data processing personnel so that the offending vehicle owner can be notified. Criteria for determining a red light violation: The electronic eye captures three photos as evidence for determining a red light violation: the front wheels crossing the stop line, the rear wheels crossing the stop line, and the front wheels crossing the opposite stop line. Only when all three photos are present will it be considered a red light violation. Methods to avoid running a red light while driving: When there are arrow signal lights, follow the arrow lights; otherwise, follow the circular lights. When the red light is on, the front of the vehicle must not cross the stop line. When the yellow light is on, the front of the vehicle must not cross the stop line. When the green light starts flashing, if you are close and moving fast, you should proceed, as stopping might be difficult and you may cross the stop line. If you are far away, moving slowly, or the intersection is congested, you should stop. When driving in the city, develop the habit of looking for traffic lights whenever you see a crosswalk or stop line at an intersection.
I haven't been driving for long, but I've thought about this issue. In fact, when running a red light, the cameras mainly capture the vehicle's license plate, not the driver's face. The equipment automatically focuses on the license plate number to record the violation, and the backend system tracks the vehicle owner based on the plate, potentially issuing a ticket or deducting points. This means the responsibility falls on the driver or vehicle owner, not the individual. I've developed good habits while driving, slowing down and stopping safely at yellow lights instead of rushing those few seconds. Some intersections now have upgraded equipment, but the core remains capturing the vehicle to ensure fair and efficient traffic enforcement. It's advisable to regularly check if your license plate is clear and clean to avoid trouble from obstructions. Remember, safe driving is more important than anything else.
