Fine for 'green': drivers will now be punished for such traffic violations.

According to inkorr.com: Drivers often receive fines due to a misunderstanding of traffic light signals, especially when it comes to additional sections. Many mistakenly believe that during the active main green light, they can move in all directions, leading to violations of traffic rules.

Clarification from the Patrol Police

A representative of the Patrol Police emphasized that if the traffic light has an additional section with an arrow for turning, the maneuver is allowed only when this arrow is active. The main green light regulates movement straight or in a certain direction.

Ignoring the arrow signal is considered passing on a forbidden traffic light signal. Such a violation may result in a fine of 510 hryvnias under Article 122 of the Code of Ukraine on Administrative Offenses.

Possible consequences of improper maneuver

If an improper maneuver leads to an accident, fines can increase significantly. In this case, the driver may receive a fine of 1445 hryvnias and lose the right to drive a car for up to twelve months.

Additional explanations of traffic rules at intersections with additional sections of traffic lights will help avoid violations and dangerous situations on the road. It is beneficial for drivers to adhere to the police recommendations and be informed about traffic rules for safe movement.

It is important to remember that additional sections of traffic lights play a crucial role in regulating traffic flow. Knowledge of the rules and attentiveness on the road will help maintain safety for both drivers and pedestrians. Also, one should not forget about the responsibility for violations, as life and health should always come first.
