Are there rewards for capturing vehicles using emergency lanes?
2 Answers
Capturing vehicles using emergency lanes is rewarded, with specific rewards varying by region. Requirements for reporting: The images or videos submitted as evidence of traffic violations must be legally obtained original materials, without any editing or alterations; when capturing images or videos, they must clearly, accurately, and completely record the time and location of the traffic violation, visible traffic signs and markings, vehicle type, license plate, external features, and the entire process of the violation, with no fewer than 3 images. Multiple reports of the same violation: Only the first reporter in sequence will be rewarded, with no duplicate rewards; if a reporter reports multiple traffic violations by the same vehicle or driver that qualify for rewards, each violation will be rewarded separately.
I've seen many people ask this question, and the answer is that some places really do offer rewards. For example, in cities like Beijing or Shanghai, if you use your phone to take photos or videos of vehicles occupying the emergency lane and upload them to official apps like 'Traffic Management 12123', you might be lucky enough to receive cash or point compensation. I remember a friend who reported a case last year and received a text notification for two hundred yuan—the exact amount depends on local policies. However, this isn't available nationwide; smaller towns might not have such programs, so it's best to check your city's road administration notices. Occupying the emergency lane is extremely dangerous. Imagine if a lane meant to save lives gets blocked—the consequences are unthinkable. I recommend everyone to stay vigilant while driving and capture violations when seen. Even without rewards, it's still a good deed.
