Will I Get Penalty Points for Going Straight in a Turn Lane?

[DelCarmen]

Going straight in a turn lane will result in penalty points. For the violation of proceeding straight in a turn lane, there are two scenarios with different penalties: First scenario: When both turning and going straight have green lights, driving straight in a turn lane is penalized as not driving in the designated direction, with a fine of 100 yuan and 2 penalty points. Second scenario: When the straight light is green but the turn light is red, driving straight in a turn lane is treated as running a red light, with a fine of 150 yuan and 6 penalty points. Additional information: 1. Guide lane markings: These are directional lane markings used to indicate the direction vehicles should follow when entering an intersection. Such markings are typically found at high-traffic intersections to clarify driving directions, ensure orderly traffic flow, and reduce congestion. 2. Categories: Fixed guide lane markings include straight lanes, left-turn lanes, and right-turn lanes, while variable guide lane markings include combined left-turn and U-turn lanes, combined right-turn and straight lanes, and tidal flow lanes.
