Will Changing Lanes Over Solid Lines on Highways Definitely Be Captured by Cameras?

[McClaire]

Changing lanes over solid lines on highways will definitely be captured by cameras. Normally, changing lanes over solid lines is considered driving against traffic markings and will result in a fine and a 3-point deduction. However, rules are rigid. When encountering special circumstances ahead, or when directed by traffic police on-site, or when emergency vehicles are performing tasks, it would be unreasonable to wait until the issue is resolved before proceeding. Therefore, changing lanes over solid lines in such situations will not be considered a violation. Lane Change Over Solid Lines Camera System: The camera system for detecting lane changes over solid lines uses ground-pressure magnetic induction loops. The principle of capturing images is as follows: when the front wheels of a vehicle pass over the induction loop on the ground, the electronic system captures the first photo; when the rear wheels pass over the induction loop, the electronic device captures the second photo; when the vehicle crosses the intersection and passes over the induction loop on the opposite side, the electronic device captures the third photo. Lane Change Over Solid Lines Photo Enforcement: The photo enforcement for lane changes over solid lines is activated 24 hours later, and the images and related data are retained for one week. For lane changes over solid lines that do not result in major safety incidents, they usually will not be captured. If temporary license plates are used on new vehicles, due to material issues, it is difficult for electronic violation cameras to capture them clearly. However, traffic police remind everyone not to take chances. For certain special circumstances and sections, crossing white solid lines will not be penalized, as there is still a buffer period for everyone to adapt. Once the adaptation period ends, strict penalties will be enforced. It is hoped that everyone can adapt to the new regulations as soon as possible.
