Will crossing solid lines on highways always be captured by cameras?

Crossing solid lines on highways will always be captured by cameras. The specific meanings of highway solid lines: 1. Rumble strips: The raised white markings on the road are rumble strips, reminding drivers of curves, downhill sections, etc. 2. Optical illusion markings: These create an optical illusion where the road appears to narrow or sink, prompting drivers to slow down before entering tunnels. 3. Deceleration markings: These visually narrow the lane to create a sense of pressure, alerting drivers to slow down at curves, ramps, etc. 4. Channelizing lines: Used at irregular, overly wide, or complex intersections and other special locations.
I've been driving on highways for over a decade and have encountered situations where I crossed solid lines, but not every instance was captured by cameras. Highway cameras aren't installed everywhere—they're only placed at accident-prone spots or intersections, equipped with intelligent systems to monitor vehicle trajectories. Crossing solid lines itself violates traffic rules because white solid lines indicate no lane changes; forcibly crossing them can lead to scrapes or chain-reaction accidents, which are extremely dangerous. Once, in a hurry, I accidentally crossed a solid line without being caught on camera, and later found out the surveillance in that section wasn't operational when checking records. Now, I pay extra attention to lane markings and have developed the habit of changing lanes in advance. On highways, speeds are high, and even a small action can cause major trouble—safety always comes first.
