Driving through when green signal is blinking, will get fine?
I am new lady driver and today is my first drive from home to office. When I was driving home, at the CID office junction, the green light was blinking when I already driving through about 2 meter when the light turn yellow then red.
Am I gonna get fine QR6000 for this ???
Please your kind advise if you ever had this experience.
Thank you so much.
Nervous Mom
no :)
I agree with the others, but also like to add, your speed at any of the signals should not be more than 80kmph
Hi,If you are so worried you can check if you have violated,go to the www.gov.qa and check by putting your car registration and your Qatari I.D number.Personally I think you are safe.My best wishes
No, if it flashes, you ll be fined...
Nothing to worry. You are safe now.
....passing through a signal with green or yellow lights is not an offence. Dont worry.....you wont be penalized for this.....cheerzzzzzz
Traffic rules 101 - Red means to STOP ...
So, If you've crossed the lights while anything but red, you are good.
Some people are extra cautious and stop when the green starts to blink (that is just a personal choice) because the fines are just too hefty. But they risk getting rammed from the behind if they brake suddenly.
You can pass through even on amber, but it is just not worth taking that risk.
Best is to always reduce speed while approaching the lights.
From my personal experience - The Camera will only flash once you Jump the Red Light which means over the zebra crossing. If you happen to cross the zebra crossing in flashing Green or Yellow you will be lucky enough not to get the picture taken.
My sister jumped a Clear Red signal at 38 kms per hr speed and she had to 6000QRS and 7 points on the Drivers license.
The traffic dept will have a clear video and recording of the incident which you can verfy with. I hope this does not happen to you. Just in case do check this website on timely basis to know of any violations.

If u didnt see the flash then there is nothing to worry,
Its very common for motorists to pass through the signals when the green light is blinking
But if you saw a flash then there will be a fine
