If the driver entered the intersection at a green traffic light, it is not a violation to cross the intersection at a prohibitive red light. Sergey Radko, a lawyer for the Freedom of Choice auto movement, told socialbites.ca about this. The interlocutor also emphasized that the traffic rules require the driver to pay attention to the stop lines.
“If the driver went to the intersection at the permitted signal of the traffic light, but has already completed the maneuver when the “red” lights up, he has to cross the intersection to the end. At the same time, the traffic police inspector does not have the right to impose a fine on the driver for this, the traffic rules directly indicate this. It is important to consider according to paragraph 13.7. SDA (“Crossing of intersections” – “socialbites.ca”), if at the intersection there is another traffic light with a stop line further along the direction of travel, the driver must stop on this line, ”said Radko.
According to the statement of the interlocutor, if there is no stop line, the intersection should be crossed despite the red light of the traffic light. The lawyer said that even if the permissive signal for pedestrians is on, the driver can continue along the zebra provided that he allows people to pass and does not interfere with them.
Viktor Travin, former Chairman of the Vehicle Owners Legal Protection Board (KPZA) reported “Gazeta.ru” will help to establish that it is legal to stop traffic jams through the courtyard, only the installation of a barrier.
