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 ranging from 20 to 200 yuan. More details are as follows: 1. According to Article 42 of the "Road Traffic Safety Law of the People's Republic of China": When driving on the road, motor vehicles shall not exceed the maximum speed indicated by speed limit signs. On road sections without speed limit signs, a safe speed should be maintained. When driving at night or on sections prone to danger, or under weather conditions such as sandstorms, hail, rain, snow, fog, or ice, the driving speed should be reduced. 2. Article 44: When passing through intersections, motor vehicles shall proceed according to traffic signals, signs, markings, or the direction of traffic police. When passing through intersections without traffic signals, signs, markings, or traffic police direction, drivers should slow down and yield to pedestrians and vehicles with the right of way.
