Legal analysis: when the yellow light is on, the car can continue driving after crossing the stop line, so there is no penalty for running the yellow light and stopping in the middle.

Legal basis: Regulations for the Implementation of the Road Traffic Safety Law of the People's Republic of China

Forty-second flashing warning lights are yellow lights that keep flashing, reminding passing vehicles and pedestrians to pay attention and pass after confirming safety.

Article 43 When there are two red lights flashing alternately or one red light is on at the intersection of road and railway, it means that vehicles and pedestrians are prohibited from passing. When the light goes out, it means that vehicles and pedestrians are allowed to pass.
