Most drivers know that the red traffic signal is an undeniable ban on traffic. However, in some cases, traffic rules allow or even oblige to ignore this signal. An experienced patrol police told about key exceptions.
The policeman emphasizes that the instructions of the regulator at the intersection have a priority over the traffic light. If a police officer gives the command to drive, the driver is required to do so, even if red light burns.
There are situations when the driver has already left at the intersection, waiting, for example, the opportunity to turn the left, but at this point the red lights up. In this case, it is dangerous to stay at the crossroads or take it back, so the rules allow you to complete the maneuver, even when driving on red.
Traffic lights with additional sections are another exception. For example, a green arrow that points to the right allows you to turn it in this side even with the main red signal.
Vehicles with flashing beacons on the red beacons on red. If you are in front of such transport, you are allowed to go to the prohibition signal to give it a path. This rule is subject to safety.
If the violation of the rules is caused by a critical situation - for example, a threat to life or health - riding to red may also be justified. In such cases, the driver's decision is evaluated in the context of circumstances.
