Guys dont worry , now I come with the clear information about crossing the red line only (not crossing the road and go other side).

In my case I crossed the red light line and I stop, I got flash and I did not reverse back, after the light turns green I move . I got a message after 6 days with photo on metrash with fine of 300 riyals only. If you pay within a month you have to pay only half that is 150 only. If you cross the red light and stop, either you reverse back or not the fine will be the same(the important thing is you are not blocking a vehicle)

All the three flashes are for your car only. They will check all the three photos to check weather you Reversed or not.. if not reversed and continued driving, the fine is 6000.

i made the same mistake 3 years back, but I stopped once I realised my mistake. The radar did flash but Thanks God I did not get any penality. If you stopped means not crossing the signal then you may escape the fine.

That time no chance to make reverse, coz traffic coming behind me from E-ring road.

Did you drive away or did you reverse your car back? If you reversed it back you might be lucky to escape with no fine or a minimal amount, but if the former happened you are gonna have to shell out a huge fine
