Will stopping halfway through running a red light result in penalty points?

[Patel]

When the entire vehicle crosses the stop line, meaning both front and rear wheels have passed the stop line but have not crossed the opposite stop line, it is referred to as over-the-line stopping. Running a red light is clearly defined in the Road Traffic Safety Law. Article 26 states that traffic signals consist of red, green, and yellow lights. A red light indicates prohibition of passage, a green light permits passage, and a yellow light serves as a warning. A red light is a traffic signal prohibiting passage, and if a vehicle proceeds through an intersection when the light is red, it constitutes the traffic violation of running a red light. Running a red light refers to the act where the vehicle, while still behind the stop line, continues to move forward despite the traffic light being red, ultimately resulting in both front and rear wheels crossing the stop line. This is determined through three photos captured by electronic cameras: A photo showing the vehicle crossing the intersection stop line, including the red light signal and license plate number. A photo showing the vehicle completely past the stop line, including the red light signal and license plate number. A photo showing the vehicle continuing to move, with changes in vehicle position compared, including the red light signal and license plate number. Capturing these three photos confirms the act of running a red light. Running a red light is not considered a violation under the following circumstances: Extreme weather: When visibility is so low that even electronic police cannot clearly see the traffic lights. The photos of the violation may be blurred, and if the red light was run unintentionally, traffic police will not impose penalties. Emergency situations: If a citizen transports a critically ill patient and provides proof from the hospital or the person being assisted, they can verify this with traffic police. If confirmed, the violation record can be cleared. If possible, it is best to call an ambulance to avoid accidents caused by running a red light. Police direction: During peak commuting hours, traffic police may temporarily direct traffic at important intersections. Drivers must follow the hand signals of the traffic police. Yielding to special vehicles: When yielding to special vehicles such as ambulances or fire trucks, if the act is captured by surveillance cameras, manual review will not record the red light violation. Even if recorded, one can apply for reconsideration with the traffic police department.
