Running a red light when turning left is generally not an issue, as it only gets automatically photographed if there are automatic monitoring devices installed behind the vehicle on the same side of the road. Otherwise, it won't be captured. When the yellow light is on, the photo system delays for 2 seconds before activating; when the red light is on, the system is already active; and when the green light is about to turn on, the system shuts down 2 seconds in advance, mainly to prevent false captures. The installation of electronic eyes can improve administrative law enforcement efficiency. With the rapid growth of the global economy, the excessive increase in motor vehicles in China has created a sharp conflict with the insufficient personnel in existing motor vehicle regulatory departments. It is clearly unrealistic to expect law enforcement personnel at every enforcement site. The use of technical means like electronic eyes saves manpower and alleviates the existing conflict.

Why do luxury cars have light front and dark rear window tints?

Because national regulations require the light transmittance of front windshield films to be greater than or equal to 70%, it is necessary to choose car films with higher transparency to ensure clearer driving visibility and improve driving safety. There are no specific regulations for side windows and rear windshield films. If car owners are more concerned about privacy protection, they can choose darker car films. Light-colored films have higher light transmittance: They provide lower privacy protection for people and objects inside the car. Dark-colored films have lower light transmittance: It is more difficult for people outside the car to see the activities inside, but this significantly affects driving visibility. Therefore, while enjoying the privacy protection function, it must not compromise driving visibility, otherwise it may pose significant safety hazards.

Can non-ETC vehicles use ETC lanes during toll-free periods?

During toll-free periods on highways, regular vehicles without ETC can still enter and exit through ETC lanes. How ETC works: Through dedicated short-range communication between the onboard electronic tag installed on the vehicle's windshield and the microwave antenna in the ETC lane at toll stations, the system uses computer networking technology to perform backend settlement processing with banks. This allows vehicles to pass through highway or bridge toll stations without stopping while automatically paying the required fees. Benefits of installing ETC: Time-saving: Eliminates the hassle of waiting in queues; Green and eco-friendly: Promotes low-carbon travel by allowing vehicles to pass through toll stations without stopping, reducing noise and exhaust emissions, thereby decreasing pollution; Reduced wear and tear: Saves costs by minimizing frequent vehicle acceleration and braking, lowering mechanical wear and fuel consumption. Users also enjoy a 5% discount on toll fees; Improved efficiency: ETC lanes can theoretically increase vehicle throughput by 2-3 times, making traditional ETC systems more updated, faster, and more high-tech. Compared to license plate payment systems, ETC technology is more mature and advantageous.
