Beating the Red Light???
By speedmarks •
I was about to go left from matar qadeem to airport road when suddenly the green light turned yellow without blinking two times. I immediately stopped but my car went halfway over the pedestrian lane but not in the middle of the intersection. I eventually ended up, reversing my car back before the pedestrian lane. Will I be fined for beating the red light? I never saw the camera flashed but im quite afraid since they are telling there's also a video to check about it. I never went pass the other side when the signal turned yellow or red. Pls advice?
These are the older version of lights that never got upgraded to the blinking system and the reason might be because there is no camera on it. You are 100% safe.
Dont Worry...
There is no camera on matar qadeem to left side turning..
So No Problem...
By the way, when I reversed back to matar qadeem pedestrian lane, I never saw those radar triggers on the pedestrian lane. There was also no camera at matar qadeem junction. The only camera was at airport road in front of me when I reversed back to matar qadeem. I really hate that traffic signal between matar qadeem going left to airport road. The green lights never blink in advance. They just suddenly turn yellow then red.
It was happened to me the same situation, in my case the camera flashed, and i've waited for a week if I was penalized thru the website but thank God i was acquited no penalty at all.
Even if you fined for this incident, you can go to traffic dept in Madinat Khalifa and explain the same to the captain. Then they will reveiw the video and wave your fine. Its my experience.Go Ahead without any fear. Good Luck!!.
Never reverse. It will trigger the Radar.
If the camera did not flash you might be ok.
