Will traffic signal camera will flash if we cross it from opposite direction?

For example while turning to left instead of entering extreme left you entered in middle road driving in opposite direction where obviously the signal will be RED.

Some of the big intersections are really somewhat confusing when you are turning left especially when there are no vehicles on the left turn side of the street on your left. It is not hard to mistake it for the right lane because their sizes are almost the same.

Even I did that at Toyota Signal, Airport Road one early morning and then I had to make a quick U-Turn luckily there was no traffic coming. I didn't get fined for that but once I saw one person did the same thing at Hamad Hospital Signal, C-Ring Road and the camera flashed in front of his face. He had to put reverse and go in the other lane. I don't know what he was thinking.

Many thanks for all your answers. I crossed the divider immediately and came to normal side. Pray for me not to get fined. Those horrifying 5 to 7 seconds I can never forget in life.

At present the cameras are set to take photos of the vehicles which are crossing red lights or speeding from the normal direction. It is not set to take photos if someone is crossing a no entry. However in order to make sure wait for a week and check in the moi site.

BTW how did you get back from the no entry?

You mean you entered to the road which is a no entry? I dont think the camera will flash (a friend of mine did it earlier at the Airport signal) but it will be a problem if someone would have noticed you doing it.
