Will the passenger be penalized for getting out of the car at a red light?

[DeDominic]

It is not considered a traffic violation and will not be penalized. A red light indicates that passage is prohibited. When the red light is on, vehicles and pedestrians are not allowed to proceed; vehicles must stop behind the stop line, and pedestrians must wait on the sidewalk. Therefore, there is no regulation prohibiting the passenger from getting out of the car while waiting at a red light. Below is an introduction to traffic signals: 1. Red light indicates prohibited passage: There are three main types: First, the command light signal. When the red light is on, vehicles and pedestrians are not allowed to proceed; vehicles must stop behind the stop line, and pedestrians must wait on the sidewalk. Bicycles making a left turn are not allowed to detour around the intersection from the outside; straight-moving vehicles are not allowed to use the right-turn method to proceed. Right-turning vehicles and straight-moving vehicles at a "T" intersection with no crossroad on the right may proceed when the red light is on, provided they do not hinder the passage of other vehicles and pedestrians. Second, the lane light signal. 2. Green light indicates permitted passage: There are three main types: First, the command light signal. When the green light is on, vehicles and pedestrians are allowed to proceed. Whether motorized or non-motorized, any vehicle facing the green light signal may go straight or turn left or right. Vehicles entering the intersection during the green light should yield to vehicles already in the intersection and pedestrians on the crosswalk. When the green light is on, turning vehicles must not hinder the passage of straight-moving vehicles and pedestrians. Second, the lane light signal. When the green arrow light is on, vehicles are allowed to proceed in the direction indicated by the arrow. The green arrow light is a traffic command signal with left-turn, straight, or right-turn directional arrows within the green light. 3. Yellow light indicates a warning: There are two main types: First, when the yellow light is on, vehicles and pedestrians are not allowed to proceed, but vehicles that have already crossed the stop line and pedestrians already in the crosswalk may continue. Right-turning vehicles and straight-moving vehicles at a "T" intersection with no crossroad on the right may proceed when the yellow light is on, provided they do not hinder the passage of other vehicles and pedestrians. A yellow light after a green light indicates that passing is prohibited, while a yellow light after a red light indicates preparation to proceed. Second, when the yellow light flashes, vehicles and pedestrians must proceed under the principle of ensuring safety.
