What are the penalties and point deductions for running a red light?

[SanAmara]

Running a red light results in a 6-point deduction and a fine of 200 RMB. According to the Road Traffic Safety Law: If the vehicle has already crossed the stop line when the yellow light is on, it can continue driving and is not considered running a red light, and generally will not be captured by cameras. If the vehicle has crossed the stop line when the red light is on and waits for the green light, this behavior is usually not considered running a red light. However, if only the front of the vehicle has passed the line while the body crosses the line when the red light turns on, it is considered running a red light. Below is an introduction to traffic signals: 1. Function of traffic signals: Traffic signals are lights that direct traffic and generally consist of red, green, and yellow lights. A red light means stop, a green light means go, and a yellow light serves as a warning. 2. Classification of traffic signals: Traffic signals are divided into motor vehicle signals, non-motor vehicle signals, pedestrian crossing signals, directional indicator signals (arrow signals), lane signals, flashing warning signals, and railway crossing signals.
