Is it possible to reverse at a highway entrance without being caught on camera?

Normally, it will be recorded. Here is relevant information about reversing at highway entrances: 1. Penalty standards: According to Order No. 123 of the Ministry of Public Security 'Regulations on the Application and Use of Motor Vehicle Driving Licenses': If a motor vehicle driver commits illegal acts such as reversing, driving in the opposite direction, or making a U-turn across the central divider on the highway, they will be penalized with 12 demerit points and a fine. 2. Handling method: If you take the wrong route due to unclear signs and markings, miss the entrance/exit, or enter the wrong entrance, do not reverse to correct your route on the spot. After entering the highway entrance, continue driving forward for a few kilometers and exit at the next available exit. If you lose your way, you can inquire at the toll station or call 12122 for assistance.
A few days ago, I also encountered this situation—almost missed the exit at the highway junction and briefly considered reversing. But looking back, it was extremely dangerous. In fact, highway exits are generally equipped with cameras, including traffic monitoring and law enforcement probes, which have wide coverage and can capture footage day and night. Any reversing behavior would definitely be recorded. If a vehicle speeds up from behind during reversal, it could easily cause a rear-end collision, potentially endangering lives in severe cases. It's advisable to check road signs and navigation in advance. If you do miss an exit, simply drive to the next one and make a U-turn. Though it may take extra time, it ensures safety and compliance with traffic rules. Remember, safety should always come first—don’t take unnecessary risks.
As a frequent driver, I think reversing on the highway is purely a gamble with luck. The cameras nowadays are too advanced, with high-definition capture systems installed at intersections, especially at entry and exit points, monitoring 24/7. A friend of mine got caught reversing, resulting in a fine, points deduction, and even license suspension. Reversing isn't just a technical issue—it's a major safety hazard. The blind spots in rearview mirrors are large, and the speed difference leads to a high accident rate. So don't count on not being caught; the probability is almost zero.
