Do Electronic Eyes Capture Violations During Road Construction?

Electronic eyes do not capture violations during road construction. Setting up safety warning signs as required: According to regulations, road maintenance and construction units must set up standardized safety warning signs and protective facilities when conducting maintenance or repair work on roads. Enhancing safety supervision: For construction work on roads where traffic is not interrupted, traffic management departments of public security authorities should strengthen traffic safety inspections and supervision. In case of traffic congestion, timely measures should be taken to divert and guide traffic to maintain order. Checking road conditions in advance: Before traveling, check road condition information in advance, plan a reasonable route, and detour construction sections ahead of time.

When it comes to whether traffic cameras are operational during road construction, I’ve got a story to share. Last year, I drove through a highway construction zone in the suburbs, where temporary speed limit signs were posted. I assumed the cameras weren’t active, but later received a speeding ticket and nearly got points deducted. From what I heard through a friend (who works in traffic management), most cameras remain operational during construction to ensure safety, as violations can easily lead to accidents. Construction zones already have higher accident rates, and speeding or running lights increases the risk of rear-end collisions. So, cameras are rarely turned off unless officially announced. It’s best to slow down, pay attention to temporary signs, and avoid risky overtaking—safety first is far more important than saving a few minutes on the road.

Having seen these situations frequently at construction sites, electronic eyes usually do capture violations. I often notice signs in construction zones reminding drivers to slow down, but some drivers ignore them, rush through, and get flashed by the cameras. The cameras are automated and operate as long as there's power. Construction crews don’t specifically turn them off—otherwise, there’d be more chaos. For instance, during the last road repair on the neighboring section, a speeding car was caught and fined, and my coworkers jokingly called it an 'unexpected bonus.' The key is to follow the rules. Construction zones have more pedestrians and machinery, making speeding extremely dangerous. My advice is not to gamble when driving through—just obey the instructions to avoid fines and ensure safety.

On the way to school with my child, I often encounter road construction sections, and I pay special attention to this issue. Electronic surveillance cameras generally do not stop during construction periods, especially during urban road repairs. The cameras still flash to record violations because safety supervision cannot be paused. Once, I was caught on camera for turning without signaling in a construction zone. Later, I found out that the traffic authorities emphasize stricter monitoring near construction sites. When driving, be sure to slow down, increase following distance, and pay attention to temporary warning signs to reduce the risk of accidents. For the sake of family happiness, developing good habits is better than taking shortcuts.
