When a vehicle changes lanes over a solid line at an intersection, it is highly likely to be captured by cameras due to their frequent shooting rate. Changing lanes over a solid line constitutes a traffic violation of disobeying prohibitory signs, punishable by a 3-point deduction and a fine. Consecutive lane changes can be determined by the vehicle's turn signals. For example, a vehicle will activate its turn signal in advance before changing lanes, indicating the intended direction of the lane change. After signaling, the driver needs to check oncoming traffic and rear vehicles before executing the lane change. Speed reduction markings are divided into longitudinal deceleration lines and transverse deceleration lines, typically installed near toll booths, exit ramps, or other areas requiring vehicles to slow down, appearing as white dashed lines. Longitudinal deceleration lines usually consist of a series of diamond-shaped dashed lines parallel to lane dividers, often placed at bridge approaches, turns, etc. Their primary function is to create a visual narrowing effect that induces a sense of pressure, prompting drivers to automatically reduce speed in designated areas. The photo enforcement system for lane changes over solid lines uses ground-pressure magnetic induction loops. Operating principle: When the front wheels pass over the induction loop on the ground, the system captures the first photo; when the rear wheels pass over the loop, it takes the second photo; when the vehicle crosses the intersection and passes over the opposite loop, the third photo is taken. This enforcement system operates 24/7, with images and related data retained for one week. Minor solid-line lane changes without major safety incidents often go undetected. Temporary license plates used on new vehicles may not be clearly captured by electronic enforcement systems due to material limitations.

As a seasoned highway driver, I've witnessed countless incidents on the road. Crossing solid lines is a traffic violation in theory, and cameras or police may capture it, but in reality, you won't always get caught. Some road sections have insufficient surveillance coverage, especially in remote areas or late at night when cameras are off or nonexistent, making it possible to get away with lane changes. From my experience, urban congested zones like intersections or school entrances have more frequent monitoring, increasing the odds of being caught. However, certain stretches of highways have fewer cameras. While you might not always get penalized, the safety risks are significant—I've seen rear-end collisions caused by solid-line crossings. Safe driving should always come first; don't gamble for momentary convenience. Remember, the legal penalty of a 200-yuan fine and 3 demerit points is just the minimum—what's truly at stake is human lives.
