Will I get points deducted for driving at 80 km/h through a traffic light?

Driving at 80 km/h through a traffic light exceeds the speed limit set for intersections and constitutes a speeding violation, which will result in a fine but no points deduction. According to the "Road Traffic Safety Law of the People's Republic of China": 1. Article 42: Motor vehicles driving on the road must not exceed the maximum speed indicated by speed limit signs. On roads without speed limit signs, a safe speed should be maintained. When driving at night, on sections prone to danger, or under adverse weather conditions such as sandstorms, hail, rain, snow, fog, or icy roads, the speed should be reduced. 2. Article 44: When passing through intersections, motor vehicles should follow the instructions of traffic lights, signs, markings, or traffic police. When passing through intersections without traffic lights, signs, markings, or traffic police, drivers should slow down and yield to pedestrians and vehicles with the right of way.
