Will running a yellow light be captured by electronic surveillance?
2 Answers
Running a yellow light is illegal and can be captured by electronic surveillance. Below is relevant information about capturing running a yellow light: 1. Penalty: However, the Ministry of Public Security has decided to temporarily not penalize those who run yellow lights, focusing instead on education. The new regulation is based on considerations for road safety. At intersections, vehicles tend to accelerate rather than slow down when encountering a yellow light, leading to frequent accidents. 2. Protecting pedestrian safety: Penalizing running yellow lights will significantly reduce vehicles accelerating through yellow lights, thereby protecting pedestrian safety to some extent. Stricter requirements for drivers reflect the principle of "people first" and safety as the top priority.
I think this is a pretty common question. Electronic eyes usually don't capture running yellow lights because traffic rules define yellow as a warning signal, requiring drivers to stop if it's safe. Only vehicles crossing the line after the red light turns on are considered violations captured by the system. In my years of driving, the system generally only activates cameras to record violations during red lights. If you can't safely stop during a yellow light and proceed through, that's fine, but don't intentionally accelerate to beat the yellow light, as that may lead to misjudgment or cause accidents endangering your safety. It's best to develop the habit of slowing down when approaching intersections to observe light changes and understand local regulations to avoid fines. Checking your vehicle's brake responsiveness also helps prevent accidental sliding. Staying calm and not panicking while driving is most beneficial for safety, especially at night or in bad weather when signals can be easily misjudged.
