Is it illegal to stop in the middle of the road after accidentally running a red light?

It is illegal to park according to the forbidden markings.

Generally, if the vehicle has crossed the stop line, as long as it can stop, it is to cross the line to stop. According to the traffic law, it is not required to drive or stop at the intersection, and 2 points will be deducted, but it is not a red light.

"Road Traffic Safety Law" and "Regulations for the Implementation of Road Traffic Safety Law" stipulate: "When you encounter a stop signal, stop outside the stop line in turn. If there is no parking line, stop outside the intersection. "

When driving at a crossroads and encountering a red light, crossing the stop line and parking outside the stop line is against the law, but it does not constitute running a red light. The Ministry of Public Security's General Technical Requirements for Automatic Recording System of Running a Red Light stipulates that the definition of running a red light by a motor vehicle refers to the behavior that a motor vehicle crosses the stop line and continues driving when the traffic signal light is red.
