How many seconds will trigger a photo at highway fork intersections?

[StEmersyn]

Not all sections of highway fork intersections have electronic surveillance cameras. If you stop in the emergency parking lane for 10 seconds, even if captured, it won't be considered a violation. Methods of highway electronic camera enforcement: 1. Currently, sections with surveillance cameras typically have induction coils installed beneath the road surface with preset parameters based on specific regulations. Any detection exceeding standards immediately triggers the camera to capture evidence; 2. Speed violations on highways are usually captured from behind, but checkpoint-style cameras may have high-definition capabilities, spanning across the road with bright illumination, potentially capturing clear images; 3. Highway monitoring centers, surveillance point setups, electronic police violation inquiries, electronic eyes, and camera locations.

I've been driving on the road for over 20 years, and stopping at highway forks is absolutely dangerous—cameras are always watching. There's no fixed duration for triggering a photo, but based on my experience, many electronic eyes are set to automatically activate if a vehicle remains stationary for 3 to 5 seconds, as these areas are accident-prone. Any stop could block other vehicles and cause rear-end collisions. I once saw a novice driver fined for stopping to check navigation for just a few seconds—totally not worth it! My advice is to plan your route in advance, keep navigation apps running throughout the trip, slow down to 60 km/h near exits to observe signs, and never stop. Safety should always come first. Not stopping on highways is the wisest choice; otherwise, you risk not just fines but also endangering lives.

I often pay attention to traffic camera systems, especially the highly sensitive surveillance at highway forks. Those electronic eyes detect stationary vehicles via induction loops, and once a car stops beyond the set threshold—like 2 to 7 seconds—it may trigger a photo, though standards vary by region (stricter in urban suburbs). They aim to prevent hesitation-induced congestion or accidents. I’ve personally encountered false alarms while driving, but the risk of an actual violation is too high! So, never gamble by lingering at forks—previewing routes via mobile maps beforehand is far safer. Ultimately, this tech is designed for safety; following rules avoids headaches.

Last time when I was driving on the highway approaching a fork, I stopped for about 5 seconds to check due to unclear road signs, and received a ticket a few days later—the photo showed the moment I stopped. That's how cameras work; most stops over 3 seconds are considered violations. I've since developed a habit: using navigation audio guidance when nearing exits to avoid sudden stops. That experience taught me that stopping on highways is both costly and dangerous, potentially causing chain collisions. Regular practice in route anticipation helps.
