How to Identify Red Light Cameras at Intersections?

Turn on your GPS or mobile navigation app; it will alert you to the presence of traffic violation cameras a certain distance before reaching the traffic light. Look around for any concealed cameras to make your judgment. Nowadays, GPS and mobile navigation apps are becoming increasingly widespread.

Having driven for many years, I rely mainly on my eyesight to spot red-light cameras at intersections. When stopping at a red light, I often look around for equipment. Common setups include small boxes or dome cameras mounted on roadside light poles, some equipped with flash or infrared devices that reflect light when driving through intersections at night. Some cities place small yellow signs with black text near intersections stating 'Electronic Police' or 'Red-Light Capture,' but in other areas, there are no signs, so you have to stay alert. I usually use navigation apps like Gaode or Baidu Maps, which mark camera locations, and the data updates fairly quickly. Checking the local traffic police website regularly is also helpful, as they publish information about newly installed cameras. The key is not to rely too much on these methods—obeying traffic signals is the only way to ensure safety.
