Will You Be Caught by Cameras When Making an Illegal U-Turn on a Red Light?
1 Answers
When making an illegal U-turn on a red light, if the road is equipped with an electronic monitoring system, there is almost a 100% chance of being caught. Here are the relevant details: 1. No monitoring system: If you run a red light while making a U-turn at an intersection without an electronic monitoring system, you will not be photographed by traffic cameras. However, this scenario is very rare and usually occurs at traffic light intersections in small towns. Most traffic light intersections in urban areas are equipped with electronic monitoring. 2. Traffic regulations: Violations such as running a red light while making a U-turn, turning left, or going straight are all penalized as violations of the red light phase prohibition. The penalty is applied for crossing the stop line and continuing to drive. To deter drivers from deliberately running red lights, traffic police departments impose a penalty of 6 demerit points for such violations.
