Can motorcycles be caught speeding?

Motorcycles can be caught speeding. Here are the relevant details: 1. Traffic regulations in China stipulate: The maximum speed for two-wheeled motorcycles and reverse three-wheeled motorcycles is 50km/h on urban roads; 60km/h on highways; the maximum speed for light motorcycles is 30km/h; when driving on expressways, the maximum speed for motorcycles must not exceed 90km/h, and the minimum speed must not be less than 50km/h. 2. Monitoring technology: Monitoring technology can capture motorcycle violations, not only through smart cameras at major intersections in urban areas but also through real-time monitoring in key sections where speeding is prone to occur.

Last time a young guy was riding his motorcycle at high speed on a provincial highway and got 12 points deducted on the spot, leaving him stunned. To be honest, motorcycles getting caught for speeding is quite common nowadays. Those square box speed detectors on the roadside are mostly equipped with high-definition cameras. Don’t think motorcycles are small—their license plates are fixed in a standard position. Especially at fixed speed detection spots like tunnel entrances and school zones, they capture everything clearly. Mobile speed cameras are even sneakier, hiding in bushes to snap photos of motorcycles from behind. The louder the modified exhaust, the easier it is to get caught. Some new devices can even identify riders not wearing helmets through linked recognition. It’s advisable to keep an eye on speed limit signs while riding, as speeding on two wheels is far more dangerous than in four-wheeled vehicles.

We often discuss this in our rider group—motorcycles do get caught by traffic cameras! The electronic police under urban overpasses are the most effective, with induction coils embedded in the road that trigger photos as soon as any vehicle, including motorcycles, passes over them. Once, my colleague on a scooter was fined for speeding 20% over the limit, and the photo even clearly showed the pattern on his helmet. However, recognition rates drop during rain or at night, and blurred license plates might go undetected. Be cautious, as newly paved roads sometimes have temporary mobile tripod cameras set up specifically to catch speeding motorcycle groups. If you really want to check whether you've been caught, the most accurate method is to check the Traffic Management 12123 App two weeks later—hardly anyone slips through the net these days.

My friend just got a speeding ticket for his motorcycle and came to me to vent. The key issue is actually the clarity of the license plate: metal plates reflect light better, making motorcycles easier to identify than cars. The latest speed cameras use millisecond-level shutters, capable of capturing even bikes going 150 km/h. Some areas are testing thermal imaging probes that can catch motorcycles at night. Modified carbon fiber license plate holders might blur the image, but if pulled over by traffic police, the fine doubles. If you really don't want to get caught, just control your speed—after all, speeding fines for motorcycles are even harsher than for cars.
