Does a one-way street generally capture the entrance or the exit?

One-way streets generally capture the entrance. Below is a detailed introduction: Identifying one-way streets: Mainly observe the traffic signs above the road. From the traffic bureau's signs, you can determine whether the road is a one-way street or another type of road, and whether it meets the usage requirements. Motor vehicles driving on the road must comply with the Road Traffic Safety Law and understand the relevant traffic signs. Violation handling method: The entrance is where the capture occurs. When a motor vehicle enters a one-way street, it will be captured by electronic cameras at the entrance. This type of traffic violation can be handled through the mobile app "Traffic Management 12123" or at the traffic management department of the public security authority or the vehicle management office.
Having driven for over a decade, I've noticed that one-way street cameras are mostly positioned at the entrance. Why? Because placing surveillance at the entrance allows for immediate detection and prevention of vehicles attempting to enter against the traffic flow. Just last time when I was making deliveries in the old town, I witnessed a private car trying to take a shortcut. The moment it made a U-turn at the entrance, it was clearly captured by the overhead electronic eye, with the license plate visible. Exits rarely have cameras installed since vehicles exiting normally aren't violating any rules. However, I'd advise both new and experienced drivers to pay attention to roadside warning signs. Many places now have reflective signs near the entrance saying 'Electronic Surveillance'. Don't risk a ticket to save a few minutes—it's not worth it.
As someone who drives for a living every day, I'm most familiar with the placement of cameras on one-way streets. Basically, nine and a half out of ten intersections have them installed at the entrance. A couple of days ago, while carrying passengers through the one-way section of Liberation Road, I noticed three or four high-definition cameras mounted on the pole at the entrance, angled differently—they could even capture water droplets on the windshield clearly. It's rare to see surveillance cameras at the exit unless it's a special section requiring two-way traffic monitoring. Based on experience, if you spot a gantry spanning the lanes at the entrance or black square boxes hanging on utility poles, you better stay sharp—entering the wrong lane could cost you six points and 200 yuan in an instant. Nowadays, navigation apps also give advance warnings about one-way streets, so developing the habit of anticipating them is crucial.
