Will crossing the line at traffic lights result in penalty points?
1 Answers
When driving through a traffic light intersection, if a vehicle crosses the solid line, penalty points will be deducted. It is recommended that drivers reduce speed when approaching traffic light intersections, maintain proper distance between vehicles, and avoid crossing the line. Pay attention to traffic signs to prevent running red lights. Here are some tips for navigating traffic lights: 1. When passing through a straight intersection with only one set of traffic lights, follow normal traffic rules: stop when the light is red and proceed when it is green. At intersections where U-turns are allowed, you can make a U-turn regardless of the traffic light. Some intersections may allow U-turns only when the light is red, so pay attention to the specific rules. If you see a 'No U-turn' sign, U-turns are prohibited at that intersection. Be flexible in understanding traffic light instructions and avoid running red lights. 2. When passing through a T-intersection, there are two scenarios: First, vehicles making a U-turn or right turn do not need to rely on traffic lights—just ensure safety when turning left. Second, vehicles making a U-turn do not rely on traffic lights, but left-turning vehicles must follow the traffic light signals, while right-turning vehicles still do not need to rely on them. Always observe traffic signals carefully to avoid violations.
