Will running a yellow light be captured by traffic cameras?
1 Answers
In reality, the electronic police surveillance system at intersections that captures drivers' traffic violations starts operating 2 seconds after the yellow light turns on, not after it turns off. Typically, the yellow light lasts for 3 seconds. Therefore, if a driver runs the yellow light while the surveillance system is already active, it will be captured. Here is some relevant information: Determination of running a yellow light: Drivers should slow down when approaching a yellow light. Vehicles that accelerate may be suspected of trying to beat the yellow light. If any part of a vehicle has crossed the stop line when the yellow light turns on, the vehicle can continue to pass and will not be considered as running the yellow light. However, if the vehicle continues to move forward without any part of it having crossed the stop line, it will be deemed as running the yellow light. Penalties for running a yellow light: The penalty for running a yellow light is the same as running a red light: a fine of 200 yuan. According to the "Scoring Standards for Road Traffic Violations," driving a motor vehicle in violation of traffic signal lights will result in 6 penalty points. Therefore, drivers should always pay attention to changes in traffic signals, control their vehicles promptly, and avoid committing traffic violations.
