Hi to all to all i am new here in qatar and i wish your opinion in here.i am driving on my way to work this morning and i will be crossing the intersection in front of hamad hospital..about 50 meters before crossing the green lights blink so i step on the break and stop after the pedestrian crossing i was almost close in the yellow square line..my question is do i violate any traffic rules..i did not bother to go back in the lane cause it might trigger the radar so i just stop...kindly advice??

I got a flash in B ring road appolo signal 6 months back but no fine, when iam standing in red for left turn from crazy signal towards appolo clinic, i mistakenly move my vehicle by seeing the green light for straight going vehicles and after flashing only i realised and stop the vehicle and move back. But no fine for that insident i think police will analize the vehicle movement where the camera also record like cctv.

same thing happened to me, when stopped the wheels were just over the line, I had the kids in the car and didn't want to do an emergency stop. I got flashed, that was about 2 months ago and as yet no violation has shown up, think they could see from the two photos that the car was decelerating and the brake lights were on.
