Is Running a Yellow Light Illegal?
1 Answers
Regarding the question of whether running a yellow light is illegal, there are two scenarios according to traffic regulations. The specific details are as follows: 1. When the light is green at the time of crossing the line: If the traffic light changes from green to yellow while the vehicle is crossing the line, the vehicle can proceed normally. 2. When the light is yellow before crossing the line: If the traffic light is already yellow before the vehicle crosses the line, forcing through would be a violation of traffic laws. Additional legal information: The "Road Traffic Safety Law" stipulates that a yellow light serves as a warning and requires vehicles to slow down when approaching an intersection. Vehicles that have already crossed the stop line when the yellow light turns on may continue to pass, while vehicles that have not yet crossed the stop line should stop. The act of rushing through a yellow light is considered a violation of traffic signal rules, resulting in a fine for the driver and a deduction of 6 points from their license.
