Is running a yellow light considered running a red light?

Running a yellow light: When the yellow light is on, vehicles that have already crossed the stop line may continue to pass; if the vehicle body has not passed the stop line when the yellow light is on and continues to drive, it is considered running a yellow light, with penalties consistent with running a red light. The yellow light serves as a buffer between the red and green lights, typically lasting 5 to 10 seconds. The moment the yellow light comes on, vehicles that have not yet reached the stop line should slow down and stop, while vehicles that have crossed the stop line should continue driving. The mechanism for capturing red-light violations is as follows: the underground red-light violation capture device is activated three seconds after the red light turns on and is turned off three seconds before the red light ends. Since the capture device is not yet activated when the yellow light comes on, it is not considered running a red light, but it is treated as running a yellow light. Currently, there is no dedicated capture device for running a yellow light; it relies on on-site traffic police and electronic surveillance at intersections.
