How far can a U-turn over double solid lines be captured by cameras?
1 Answers
Crossing double yellow lines is generally captured by cameras within approximately 20 meters. Below are relevant details: 1. On-the-spot penalty: Illegal U-turns over double yellow lines are recorded either by automatic electronic police cameras or manual photography by traffic police, with violators being penalized immediately. 2. Monetary and point penalties: Solid lines on regular roads, including double solid yellow lines, must not be crossed arbitrarily. U-turns, reversing, parking, or speeding over double solid yellow lines are strictly prohibited. Violators typically face a fine of 200 yuan and a deduction of 3 points. Important notes: 1. U-turns are prohibited in the absence of a left-turn sign, and being caught by surveillance cameras will result in an immediate 12-point deduction. 2. Occasionally, double yellow dashed lines may appear on roads, which are also part of the double yellow line system. These are usually placed at intersections with lower traffic volumes, allowing vehicles to cross the double yellow dashed lines to enter the intersection or perform U-turns and turns, provided it is safe to do so. 3. Neither single solid yellow lines nor double solid yellow lines should be crossed, and attempting a U-turn over them will lead to severe penalties if caught.
