Will changing lanes over a solid line be captured by electronic surveillance?
2 Answers
Changing lanes over a solid line will be captured by electronic surveillance. Below are the relevant details: 1. Penalty: Driving a motor vehicle in violation of prohibition signs or road markings; a fine of up to 200 RMB and 3 demerit points. The latest traffic regulations regarding school bus driver management came into effect upon issuance, while other provisions officially took effect on January 1, 2013. The new traffic rules have increased the penalties for violations, with the number of demerit point categories rising from 38 to 52. 2. Note: Many experienced drivers are aware that there are specific regulations when driving on the road. For example, overtaking is not allowed. Additionally, changing lanes over a solid line is also prohibited. If caught by electronic surveillance, not only will points be deducted, but a fine will also be imposed.
Absolutely! Especially nowadays with so many high-definition cameras on the road, crossing solid lines is almost impossible to escape. Once I crossed a solid line at a highway exit, and within a week, I received a ticket—200 yuan plus 3 points deducted. It really hurt! Whether it's white or yellow solid lines, you can't cross them. The white lane dividers in the middle of the road are the most likely to be caught. Electronic eyes use both geomagnetic sensors and video surveillance to determine violations—if your wheels stay on the solid line for more than 0.5 seconds, you’ll definitely be photographed. Many cities have also added mobile enforcement vehicles specifically targeting drivers who cut in line by crossing solid lines during traffic jams. It’s better to drive carefully and check road signs hundreds of meters in advance to change lanes safely.
