New regulations： running a red light will be punished, and ＂running a green light＂ in Shenzhen will also be punished!

　　CCTV News:From September 1st, Shenzhen traffic police began to focus on the rectification of illegal traffic behaviors of "rushing to the green light". Everyone is familiar with running a red light. What is a "green light"? What is the harm of "green light"?

　　What is a "green light"?

　　The so-called "green light" means that when the signal light turns green, if the vehicle in front is still blocked in the center of the intersection, then the motor vehicle should wait outside the intersection, otherwise it will constitute a "green light".

　　"Running the green light" makes the traffic from congestion to paralysis.

　　At noon on August 31, at the Industrial Road, Xixiang Avenue, Shenzhen, the intersection was blocked due to the detention of vehicles, and at this time, the vehicles behind were still pushing forward.

　　Wang Haidi, deputy section chief of the Legal Department of shenzhen public Traffic Police Department, said that when the traffic is in a state of congestion and stagnation like this, the vehicles in front of the stop line should not continue to enter the intersection at the green light. Once these vehicles enter the intersection, vehicles that need to turn left on another road will be unable to drive, which will aggravate the congestion at the intersection.

　　

The same situation also occurred at the intersection of Renmin Park Road, Jiefang Road, Shenzhen. Left-turning vehicles still pushed forward even though the intersection was blocked, while straight vehicles also chose to move forward despite the serious congestion ahead, resulting in traffic paralysis at this intersection in just over ten seconds.

　　Wang Haidi said that this kind of behavior constitutes a "green light."

　　How to judge whether the green light can pass at a traffic intersection?

　　As we have seen in the surveillance video, the "green light" will cause a continuous backlog of vehicles at intersections, forming a large area of congestion, and it is also easy to cause collisions between vehicles. For drivers, how to judge whether they should pass at the green light intersection?

　　

　　First, when the green light is on, if the straight direction is blocked, then the straight traffic must wait outside the intersection, and the left and right traffic can pass normally.

　　

　　Second, when the green light is on, if there is traffic jam in the left, straight and right directions, traffic in all directions must wait outside the intersection.

　　

　　Third, when the green light is on, the left-turn direction is blocked, and the left-turn traffic must wait outside the intersection, and the straight and right-turn traffic can run normally.

　　Feng Xinyi, deputy director of shenzhen public Traffic Police Bureau, said that subjectively speaking, the vehicles in the center of the intersection have stopped and can’t move, that is, don’t go in again.

　　It has long been stipulated that "rushing to the green light" is illegal.

　　In the traditional cognition of many drivers, "green light" is not an illegal act. But in fact, China’s road traffic safety law has already made relevant provisions on "rushing to the green light".

　　

　　Article 53 of China’s "Regulations for the Implementation of the Road Traffic Safety Law" stipulates that in case of traffic jam at the intersection ahead, motor vehicles should wait outside the intersection in turn and not enter the intersection. Article 12 (1) (4) of the Regulations on Penalties for Road Traffic Safety Violations in Shenzhen Special Economic Zone stipulates that in case of traffic jam at the intersection ahead, if you fail to stop outside the intersection according to law and forcibly enter, you will be fined by 300 yuan; Article 12, paragraph 2, stipulates that anyone who commits the acts mentioned in the preceding paragraph for more than three times within one year shall be fined by 500 yuan every time from the third time.

　　Increase the police force’s special rectification "green light"

　　Shenzhen traffic police said that starting from September 1st, the traffic police will increase police input, organize all police forces, such as road police on duty, peak police on duty, and iron riding patrol police, to specifically rectify the green light rushing behavior. At the same time, a special electronic police will be added at the intersection to automatically capture the illegal act of "rushing to the green light".

　　

　　Wang Haidi said that the purpose of carrying out the special rectification of "rushing to the green light" is to let the public know that "rushing to the green light" is an illegal act, better abide by road traffic laws and regulations, and stop entering the intersection when the traffic is blocked, so that the vehicles in the middle of the intersection can vacate as soon as possible and restore normal traffic order.

　　Punishment will start from the third week of September.

　　It is understood that the first two weeks of September will serve as a publicity transition period, that is, a period of impunity for violations. In the first week of September, publicize and educate vehicles that violate the law and "rush the green light"; In the second week, an on-site verbal warning was given; From the third week, a comprehensive investigation will be carried out.
