Will changing lanes and crossing the line at traffic lights definitely be captured?

No, generally cameras can only capture the front view, and intersection surveillance is primarily responsible for recording red-light violations, not capturing instances of crossing solid lines. Below is relevant information: Introduction: Surveillance cameras are specialized cameras used for security purposes, with higher pixel and resolution capabilities compared to computer webcams but lower than professional digital cameras or DV devices. Most surveillance cameras are single-purpose video capture devices with limited data storage functionality. Expansion: Surveillance cameras are mainly categorized by appearance into bullet-type, dome-type, and high-speed PTZ models, with further distinctions between analog surveillance and IP network surveillance. They are widely applied across various security fields such as schools, companies, banks, transportation, and safe city initiatives.
I remember when driving in urban areas, I often encounter situations where I need to quickly change lanes before traffic lights. From my years of driving experience, crossing the line doesn't always get caught by cameras. For example, intersections in the city center have dense surveillance, so the chances are higher; in small towns or suburban areas, the traffic light setups might be rudimentary or not even powered, making it relatively safer. The key is the timing and position of crossing the line—if it happens to be in a camera's blind spot or the system doesn't activate in time, you might get away with it. But don’t push your luck, because it is indeed a violation that can result in points deducted and fines, especially if caught with solid evidence. I always advise beginners not to take risks—safety comes first. Slowing down and smoothly changing lanes at traffic lights can avoid 90% of the risks. Ultimately, the purpose of traffic rules is to ensure everyone's safety, and developing good habits benefits both yourself and others.
