Is there a fine for running a red light?
1 Answers
Running a red light will result in a fine. The penalties for running a red light are as follows: If the vehicle just crosses the stop line when the light is red but stops immediately, this will not be penalized. However, if there is obvious movement after crossing the line, a penalty will be imposed. The electronic eye captures three photos of a red light violation: the vehicle crossing the stop line, followed by two more photos showing the vehicle in the middle of the intersection and reaching the opposite side. Only when all three photos are complete will it be considered running a red light, which results in a deduction of 6 points under the new regulations. Running a red light under the command of a traffic officer: When there is a conflict between the traffic signal and the traffic officer's gesture, the driver must obey the officer's on-site command. If the driver runs a red light due to the officer's command, they can obtain a diversion certificate from the local traffic police department to avoid penalties. If the party disagrees with the penalty, they can appeal through administrative reconsideration or administrative litigation. If the entire vehicle crosses the stop line during a red light but does not continue moving, this is not considered running a red light. However, this is considered crossing the line and stopping, which, according to Article 4, Section 5 of the "Scoring Standards for Road Traffic Safety Violations," results in a deduction of 2 points for "failing to drive or stop as required at an intersection."
