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.
