Yesterday i was driving from Jaidah bridge towards um ghuwalina...it was bumper to bumper traffic and i was trying my best to avoid being hit from behind as well as hit someone..it was so bad...
anyways my query is...as i was driving and was very near a signal....it started blinking...there was traffic from behind and ahead moving slowly....and by the time i actually crossed the line it was yellow...but i didnt fully cross...there was traffic ahead of me..and the signal turned red....i have an eerie feeling that i crossed whilest it was red....for that matter...i crossed the line and stopped in between the lines...cos there was traffic.....
nothing flashed...i believe cos there was no radar on that signal?
Are there radars that do not flash but catch you on the signals, especially?
My colleagues tell me...not to worry cos...if there are radars on the signals...it really flashes bright...even in the day time...
can anyone confirm this pls...appreciate...
Also...are there radars at roundabouts? especiallt on salwa road roundabouts..at times...the signal suddenly turns red at the corners and one has no choice but to keep going...
thanks guys

Even If there is Camera, In Your case it wont flash. It will flash only when your both side tires (backside nd frnt side) cross the line or some metal on the line. Or 2 times something (tires) crossed the Line. If you feel you crossed front tires dont try to come back as it will count as second cross. So the light will flash

Don't take tensions as there are no radars on roundabout. Moreover in case you are supposed to be charge, Police will contact you and give you the chance to justify and then they will decide the amount of charge. This is for the case of signal crossings on red light.

Also when the radar flashes it feels also to blinds.......;p

so don't take tension.......

There is yellow hatched paint on that junction which means you should not even enter it if the way through is not clear.
