Will running a yellow light at an intersection result in fines and penalty points?
1 Answers
Running a yellow light at an intersection is considered a traffic violation. Proceeding through a yellow light is an act that violates the 'Road Traffic Safety Law of the People's Republic of China.' When the yellow light is on, vehicles that have already crossed the stop line may continue to proceed, while vehicles that have not crossed the stop line should stop within the stop line and wait. Therefore, motor vehicles running a yellow light also constitute a traffic violation. Below is more related information: Introduction to yellow lights: A yellow light is a transitional signal that serves as a warning, indicating to drivers that the signal is about to change. Most yellow lights last for 3 seconds, and some drivers often accelerate hard to rush through. When driving fast and with insufficient observation, the probability of accidents caused by rushing through a yellow light is higher than running a red light, and the nature of such accidents is usually more severe. The Traffic Management Bureau of the Ministry of Public Security requires local traffic management departments to focus on education and warnings for violations of yellow light signals, with no penalties imposed for the time being.
