What are the penalties for crossing the stop line at traffic lights?
1 Answers
At traffic light intersections, many regions do not penalize actions such as the front of the vehicle crossing the line, wheels crossing the line, or rear wheels crossing the line. However, if the entire vehicle body passes the white stop line and stops, it will be considered illegal parking, resulting in a fine and a deduction of 2 points. If you accidentally cross the solid white line at a red light, as long as you do not continue driving, the system cannot capture the three photos required to confirm running a red light, and thus no penalty will be imposed. To avoid such situations, you should slow down in advance when approaching an intersection and stop when the green light is about to turn yellow, which can help prevent crossing the line. Maintaining a sufficient safe distance from large vehicles allows for adequate time and space to observe traffic lights, effectively avoiding violations such as accidentally running a red light or crossing the line due to obstructed vision caused by large vehicles ahead.
