How to take photos of vehicles on the emergency lane?
2 Answers
Nowadays, road cameras have basically achieved full coverage, and many sections are under real-time monitoring. If you encounter traffic congestion and drive on the emergency lane, this may hinder rescue operations, and the probability of being photographed is almost very high. The cameras set up to capture illegal occupation of the emergency lane are generally located beside the road, with a shooting distance of about 150 meters. Principle of capture: The principle of capturing vehicles on the emergency lane is very simple. It mainly checks whether the vehicle crosses the solid line, captures images of vehicles that cross the line, and then uploads the captured photos for manual analysis and processing. Purpose of the emergency lane: The emergency lane is mainly reserved for official vehicles such as ambulances, fire trucks, and police or military vehicles when emergencies occur. It is set up on the far-right lane of the highway, separated by a solid white line.
As a veteran driver who frequently travels on highways, I've seen too many cases of emergency lane violations being caught on camera. Currently, enforcement mainly relies on three methods: overhead cameras are the most common, often installed on bridges or sign gantries, capable of clearly capturing license plates and driver actions; some sections deploy mobile surveillance vehicles specifically targeting emergency lane misuse during holiday traffic jams; tunnels often have hidden cameras. The most easily overlooked method is public reporting – many regions now have 'snap-and-report' platforms where surrounding drivers can upload videos during traffic jams to get you fined. Remember, unless your vehicle is immobilized due to breakdown or facing a medical emergency, any attempt to overtake or temporarily park in the emergency lane is high-risk behavior.
