Will stopping at a green light with 6 seconds left result in penalty points?

Stopping at a green light with 6 seconds remaining will not result in penalty points. Below is relevant information: Light colors: Initially, there were only red and green colors. After improvements, a yellow light was added. The red light means stop, the yellow light means prepare, and the green light means go. The choice of these three colors for traffic signals is related to human visual structure and psychological reactions. The human retina contains rod cells and three types of cone cells. Rod cells are particularly sensitive to yellow light, while the three types of cone cells are most sensitive to red, green, and blue light, respectively. Due to this visual structure, humans can most easily distinguish between red and green. Although yellow and blue are also distinguishable, since there are fewer light-sensitive cells in the eye for blue light, red and green remain the optimal choices for color distinction. Traffic signals: At intersections, red, yellow, and green traffic signals are displayed on all sides, serving as silent "traffic police." Traffic lights are internationally standardized. A red light is a stop signal, and a green light is a go signal. At intersections, vehicles from multiple directions converge—some going straight, others turning. The traffic lights dictate who proceeds first. When the red light is on, vehicles are prohibited from going straight or turning left, but right turns are allowed if they do not obstruct pedestrians or other vehicles. When the green light is on, vehicles may proceed straight or turn. When the yellow light is on, vehicles should stop at the intersection stop line or within the crosswalk if they cannot safely continue. A flashing yellow light warns drivers to proceed with caution.
