Will driving over the line in a tunnel be captured by cameras?
1 Answers
Generally, there are traffic violation cameras in tunnels, but not all tunnels have them. Therefore, driving over the line in a tunnel may not necessarily be captured. According to road traffic laws, crossing the line in a tunnel is considered a violation of traffic markings. If caught by electronic surveillance, it will result in a fine and a deduction of 3 points from the driver's license. However, if you have to change lanes to avoid an accident ahead or to give way to emergency vehicles, it will not be considered a violation. Even if you are penalized, you can appeal the decision through administrative reconsideration. Below are some precautions for driving in and out of tunnels: 1. Slow down and turn on lights before entering the tunnel: During daytime driving, the light inside the tunnel will suddenly become dim, making it difficult for the human eye to adapt quickly. Therefore, you should reduce speed, increase following distance, and turn on your headlights before entering the tunnel. Most tunnels have clear speed limit signs, so follow the posted speed limits. 2. Maintain a safe following distance: Due to the significant difference in light when entering a tunnel, visibility may be temporarily impaired, causing drivers to instinctively brake. The vehicle behind may also be affected by the sudden change in light, so maintaining a greater distance ensures safety. Generally, keep a distance of at least 100 meters when driving in a tunnel. For longer tunnels, follow the posted guidelines for safe following distances. 3. Do not change lanes: Visibility is poor inside tunnels, especially near exits, and there are usually only two or three lanes. Therefore, lane changes are strictly prohibited in tunnels. Stay in your lane and avoid overtaking.
