If you drive through an intersection at the last second of a yellow light, is it considered running a red light?

First of all, let me tell you that if the front wheel crosses the stop line at the last second of a yellow light, it will not be counted as you running the yellow light, but it will be counted as a violation, and it will not be recorded (no penalty), and no points or fines will be deducted. As we all know, the yellow light that flashes for 3 seconds after the green light is a warning to vehicles that are about to cross the stop line to stop within the stop line and wait for the next green light to pass. Jumping to the yellow light is not only a violation of traffic regulations, but also a danger that ignores the danger to yourself and others. Driving behavior!

Whether it is a round indicator light or an arrow indicator light, there are generally two situations when the yellow light appears. First, there is an indicator light with a countdown and seconds, so that the 3-second yellow light time can be accurately grasped, leaving room for selection of vehicles passing when the green light turns to yellow. Second, there is no yellow light indication with a countdown display, which is most likely to cause the phenomenon of rushing to the yellow light. It is also a time when accidents are frequent. What should I do? The best way to deal with the yellow light should be like this.

1. Observe traffic laws. When the yellow light is on, stop within the stop line. It is better to stop for dozens of seconds than to grab these 3 seconds;

2. When the stop line is pressed, it is right The green light turns to yellow, and you are driving normally. It is not against the rules at all. If you stop, you will be sentenced to parking for crossing the line. In some cities, you will be fined;

3. The speed of the car is relatively fast, and the yellow light is on. If you brake suddenly at this time, it is easy to cause a rear-end accident. If you cross the stop line and then brake, it is easy to cause parking outside the line. In this case, don’t hesitate. Slow down and drive through the intersection while ensuring the safety of pedestrians and vehicles in the left and right directions. ;

4. When the green light reaches the yellow light in 1 or 2 seconds, do not stop within the stop line in advance and wait for the yellow light. If you pass the green light within 1 or 2 seconds, it is more than enough time, so don’t waste it. Precious time;

5. When the front wheel is close to the stop line and the yellow light comes on, stop immediately. No matter how hard the car behind you whistles to prevent you from crossing the line, I will remain unmoved and wait until I can You fly over to the car behind you.

In short, running a yellow light is not only a violation of traffic laws, but also a bad driving habit. Only by obeying the instructions of the traffic lights and driving in a civilized manner can one be considered a qualified driver.

I think the definition of running a red light seems to be different in different places. In some places where management is relatively loose, the moment a vehicle passes by, even if the red light turns on, it will be fine. In some relatively strict areas, even if you run a yellow light, 12 points will be deducted and a fine of 200 yuan will be directly deducted, so specific issues need to be analyzed in detail.

From my own experience, the only time I was photographed running a red light was on Mingzu Avenue in Nanning. When I passed an intersection, I was rushing to get off work at 12 noon. I had to go to the industrial and commercial office to hand over the materials, so I had to drive in a hurry. When passing an intersection, I saw the street light flashing and about to turn into a yellow light. I was still about 10 meters away from the stop line at the intersection. I hesitated for a moment and drove straight over. I noticed that I had already When I passed the stop line, the traffic light turned red. I thought that nothing would happen, and I didn't cross the line when the light was red.

↓↓↓The situation at that time was probably like this, but the rear of my car was a little further forward

Later, a few days later, I received a text message, the message of the text message It reminded me that there was a red light violation at a certain intersection on Minzu Avenue. I didn’t think about the yellow light at that time. I thought I accidentally ran through it without paying attention to the traffic light. Later, I went to the traffic police team to deal with the violation. I discovered that it was taken when I passed that intersection last time. The photo I was shown was that when the red light turned on, the rear part of my car was still pressed against the parking line of the intersection.

At that time, I thought to myself that even if it were faster by 0.5 seconds or the lights flashed more, the 6 points would be deducted. However, since the photo evidence is conclusive, there is no way but to accept the penalty and Points deducted.

Therefore, since different places or different intersections have different strictness on running red lights, in terms of insurance, in fact, when crossing an intersection and seeing the traffic light in front, In fact, when you should close the accelerator and slow down, no matter whether the light is red or green, you need to slow down at the intersection. Do not use the accelerator to rush over, otherwise a serious accident will occur if you encounter a car that runs the red light.

↓↓↓Slow ??down whether it is a red light or a green light crossing

When slowing down to a relatively safe speed, if the green light is still on, you can maintain a safe speed If you pass, if the light is flashing yellow, you have to slow down slowly and stop, otherwise you will be deducted 12 points like my experience above; including myself after the last time I was slapped and deducted points, I almost never run a yellow light when driving behind me. Whenever I see the light flashing, I will stop slowly. Why should I stop slowly? This is because I am worried that if I stop too fast, it will cause a rear-end collision with the car behind me.

All in all, when driving through an intersection, the strictness of capturing people running red lights is different. Therefore, in order to be photographed running red lights at some intersections, I personally recommend that you slow down and stop as long as the yellow light flashes. In addition to ensuring that you will not be photographed running a red light, this can more importantly avoid collisions caused by some vehicles running a red light or accelerating rapidly.

It does not count as running a red light. The yellow light mainly reminds the car owner that the light is about to turn red. Generally, the flashing time of the yellow light is only 3 seconds. At this time, the vehicle should stop and wait in front of the stop line. Of course, if it has already passed Those with stop lines can pass through the intersection directly and will not be judged as running a red light.

Stop at the red light, go at the green light, and wait at the yellow light. This is the most basic traffic knowledge. Many car owners often speed through the intersection when the yellow light flashes, but when passing the intersection they find that the yellow light has changed. The light is red, and it is too late to brake at this time, so you can only continue driving until you pass the intersection.

In fact, this behavior can be said to not be running a red light, because the vehicle has already left the stop line at the yellow light and can continue driving without being judged as running a red light. Most car owners do not know what the standard is for running a red light. How about it? I often worry about whether I have run a red light.

A vehicle running a red light is judged by three pictures taken by the camera. The first picture is the vehicle passing the stop line under the red light, the second picture is the vehicle driving to the middle of the road when the light is red, and the third picture is the vehicle passing the stop line when the light is red. When the three pictures are red lights, a vehicle passing through the opposite intersection will be judged as running a red light if it consists of these three pictures.

To put it simply, when the red light is on, if the vehicle still moves, it will be defined as running a red light. However, in some cases, even if it can stop in time, it will still be judged as running a red light, such as when a vehicle passes and stops. If you find a red light coming on behind the line and brake in time to stop, but then return to the stop line after stopping, this situation will also be judged as running a red light.

The phenomenon of running red lights has been repeatedly banned, especially when more people speed through intersections when the yellow lights are flashing, it is easy to cause running red lights, and some areas have now stipulated that running yellow lights will also result in demerit points and fines. , when passing a traffic light intersection, you should slow down in advance and pay attention to the changes in the signal lights to avoid running the red light.

It doesn’t count, and it shouldn’t count. Just look at the expressions of the traffic law and you will understand.

This is the definition of traffic lights in Article 26 of the "Road Traffic Safety Law of the People's Republic of China":

This is the definition of traffic lights in the "Road Traffic Safety Law of the People's Republic of China": The specific description of traffic light signals in Article 38 of the Regulations for the Implementation of the Traffic Safety Law:

It is necessary to clarify a concept: when the X light is on = the period when the X light is on ≠ the moment when the X light is on, otherwise this regulation will No sense anymore.

Therefore, when the yellow light is on, it means that within 4 seconds of the yellow light being on (the 4 seconds of the yellow light are written into the regulations and signal light setting specifications), the car can continue walking after crossing the stop line, and it does not constitute running a red light. And this "over" is calculated based on the front of the car, not the rear wheels or the rear.

By the way, running a yellow light is a false proposition. It is a concept that does not exist in the traffic law, and it is not a traffic violation. Previously, in January of this year, a 6-point fine was imposed on vehicles that crossed the line with a yellow light. This was actually a misunderstanding of the definition of a yellow light and made a huge joke. Not only is it not illegal for cars that "run a yellow light", but the law enforcement agencies that punish these cars are suspected of breaking the law. The reasons are as follows:

1. According to the provisions of Article 38 of the "Implementation Regulations of the Road Traffic Safety Law of the People's Republic of China", the yellow light is originally passable, and its function is to remind you It will turn red after 4 seconds. If your speed and distance cannot pass the intersection before the yellow light ends, you can slow down and stop 4 seconds in advance. If you pass by force, you will either run the red light or speed. If your speed and distance can pass safely within 4 seconds, as long as you are not speeding, there is nothing wrong with applying the accelerator to pass.

2. The term "yellow light" was proposed because the decision-makers understood what I just said as "when the light is on" as "the moment when the light is on". He believes that if you cross the line at the moment the yellow light turns on, you can continue walking, but you cannot go without crossing the line. If we understand it this way, the green light means that passage is allowed only at the moment it lights up, and the red light means that traffic is not allowed only at the moment it lights up. What is the meaning of such a traffic light? Taking a step back, the latest traffic lights turn from green to yellow without any warning (only pedestrian lights flash green), without even a moment of reaction time and operation time, which is equivalent to using the yellow light directly as a red light. How can a car that is too close to the parking line be stopped? What is the meaning of the red light?

3. Some people think they are pragmatic and say that running a yellow light will increase intersection accidents. This is even more nonsense. During the 4 seconds of yellow light, will the light in other directions be green? No. Even after the light turns red, there are still a few seconds when all sides are completely red. The purpose is to clear the intersection and ensure that traffic in the direction of the next green light can pass smoothly. Therefore, if a car hits you at an intersection because of a yellow light, it is clear that it was you who ran the red light, not someone else who ran the yellow light!

Stop at the red light, go at the green light, and wait when the yellow light is on. This is a saying that kindergarten children often talk about. But when it comes to adults, when the yellow light comes on, it seems that instead of waiting, it's about grabbing. It is true that time is precious, but safety comes first.

Everyone must have no doubt about the red light stop and the green light go, let’s focus on the yellow light. The purpose of the yellow light is to clear the vehicles in the middle of the intersection so that the intersection can maintain its usual function. After the green light, there is a yellow light, and after the yellow light, there is a red light. Assuming there is no yellow light, when the green light goes out and the red light comes on, there will be cars that have just passed the stop line and cars driving into the middle of the intersection. The yellow light is the same as the green light. The transition between red lights is the time it takes for these vehicles to pass the stop line before reaching the oncoming vehicle.

Therefore, if you cross the stop line one second before the yellow light turns on, you will not be sentenced to running a red light. You can just continue driving as long as it is safe. Try not to stop. On the one hand, it is for the sake of safety. Not blocking the crosswalk does not affect the passage of pedestrians, but on the other hand, not stopping at the intersection hinders the passage of vehicles in other directions. In fact, most people who cross the stop line under a yellow light will not be sentenced to running a red light, even if the yellow light crosses the stop line at the last second.

By the way, running a red light is actually not that difficult. Some friends think they have run a red light, but after checking, it is not illegal. A car running a red light refers to the process in which a car crosses the stop line one after another under a red light, continues to drive to the intersection, and reaches the opposite side. During this process, the camera will take three pictures as evidence. The first picture shows the car still within the stop line when the light is red, the second picture shows the car reaching the intersection when the light is red, and the third picture shows the car passing the red light. The intersection reached the opposite lane. As long as one of the above three pictures does not meet the requirements, you will not be sentenced to running a red light.

This article is not to tell you how to rush for a red light or how to pass an intersection without being sentenced for running a red light. It is to hope that you will not rush for a second or two with a sense of luck. If an accident occurs, don't regret it. and. The intersection itself is a place prone to accidents, and it is indeed very dangerous if you are not careful. The so-called "I would rather wait for three points than grab a second" is also a result of lessons learned, and even pain and blood. Remember, it’s better to wait for three points than to grab a second!

No, running a red light is only when the light turns red and then cross the line. A yellow light means passing after confirming that the intersection is safe, so passing a yellow light at an intersection is not considered running a red light

First of all, this cannot be determined because law enforcement standards vary from place to place;

Secondly, if the yellow light passes through the intersection at the last second, traffic accidents are likely to occur, and the gain outweighs the loss.

The last thing I want to say to you: There are thousands of roads, safety is the first priority. If driving is irregular, your loved ones will shed tears.

Safe travel and safe driving are everyone’s responsibilities.

Violating traffic signals does not mean running a red light. Illegal traffic signals include running a red light, just like chili peppers include bell peppers, sky peppers, and wattle. Take a look at Article 38 of the Implementation Regulations of the Traffic Safety Law

Each city has different definitions of violations. Generally, the definition is determined by three photos (the specific location on the opposite side after qualifying). You can check it after a week. Of course, violations can also be appealed for re-inspection

First of all This approach is very dangerous, and many tragedies are caused by rushing to the yellow light. You have a problem with this. Furthermore, whether running a red light is valid requires two photos as evidence (one is when passing the light, and one is when crossing the opposite line). It seems that many places have different regulations for running a yellow light. In some places or in some snapshots, running a yellow light The lights are also illegal
