Is there speed camera enforcement for the 80 km/h speed limit on the Jingha Expressway?

There is speed camera enforcement for the 80 km/h speed limit on the Jingha Expressway. The following are specific precautions for driving on expressways: 1. Comply with expressway speed limits: When first entering the expressway, accelerate to at least 50 km/h as soon as possible, move from the ramp to the acceleration lane, and then merge into the main lane, taking care not to obstruct other vehicles already traveling in the main lane. During normal driving, do not exceed the maximum or minimum speed limits on the expressway to avoid dangerous situations. 2. Avoid unnecessary lane changes: When driving on the expressway, never change lanes arbitrarily. If you need to overtake, turn on the turn signal in advance, and only overtake in the adjacent lane. Do not overtake continuously, and return to your original lane promptly after overtaking. Do not drive straddling the lane markings.
I often drive on the Jingha Expressway, and there are indeed speed limit signs of 80 km/h on some sections, such as areas with many curves near Beijing or Harbin city, where a lot of cameras are installed. If you exceed the speed limit, you will definitely get caught. I remember last year when I passed through a construction zone there, there was a surveillance camera right next to the 80 km/h sign. It's said to use radar speed detection, which is extremely accurate. It's best to use a navigation app to get early warnings about speed limit changes and not exceed 70 km/h to stay safe. If you do exceed the limit, the fine is 200 yuan plus points deducted, which isn't worth it. So keep your eyes open while driving, don't just focus on rushing, safety first.
Regarding the speed camera enforcement issue on the Jingha Expressway with an 80 km/h speed limit, I believe it's primarily for safety considerations. That particular section may have sharp curves and heavy traffic, making camera installation quite normal, with the speed monitoring system operating 24/7 to prevent speeding. I think obeying the rules protects both yourself and others, as there are numerous examples of accidents caused by speeding. It's advisable to maintain a speed around 70 km/h normally, avoiding driving right at the speed limit threshold. Developing the habit of checking GPS speed limits before driving is far better than regretting afterwards – road safety depends on attention to detail.
