Will I get points deducted for running a yellow light at an intersection?
1 Answers
When the yellow light is flashing at an intersection, vehicles that have already crossed the stop line may continue to proceed. If the yellow light is already on and you still rush through, it constitutes a traffic violation, resulting in a 6-point deduction. Below are specific details about traffic signals: 1. Green light: When the green light is on, vehicles are permitted to proceed, but turning vehicles must not impede the passage of straight-moving vehicles or pedestrians. 2. Yellow light: When the yellow light is on, vehicles that have already crossed the stop line may continue to proceed. 3. Red light: When the red light is on, vehicles are prohibited from proceeding. At intersections without separate non-motorized vehicle or pedestrian signals, non-motorized vehicles and pedestrians should follow the indications of the motor vehicle traffic signal. When the red light is on, right-turning vehicles may proceed provided they do not impede the passage of other vehicles or pedestrians that have been given the right of way.
