Driving the wrong way on a one-way street will always be photographed. According to regulations, pedestrians, passengers, and non-motor vehicle drivers who violate road traffic safety laws and regulations regarding road traffic rules will be given a warning or fined; non-motor vehicle drivers who refuse to accept the fine may have their non-motor vehicles impounded. The following are common traffic violations: Running a red light: Running a red light is the most common violation. Since the new traffic regulations were introduced, running a red light results in a one-time deduction of 6 points. Driving without a license: If a motor vehicle driver continues to drive while their license is suspended, they will be fined and detained for 15 days. Those driving without a motor vehicle license or whose license has been revoked will be detained for 15 days and fined. Overloading or overcrowding: For passenger vehicles carrying more than the rated capacity but less than 20% or freight vehicles exceeding the approved load capacity by less than 30%, a fine will be imposed. For passenger vehicles exceeding the rated capacity by 20% or freight vehicles exceeding the approved load capacity by 30%, a fine will be imposed. Driving under the influence of alcohol: Driving under the influence of alcohol results in a 3-month suspension of the motor vehicle license and a fine. Driving a commercial vehicle under the influence of alcohol results in a 3-month suspension of the motor vehicle license and a fine. Speeding: Driving a motor vehicle at a speed exceeding the maximum limit by 50% results in a fine and revocation of the motor vehicle license.
Driving the wrong way on a one-way street may not always be caught on camera, as it depends on the location and camera coverage. Based on my years of driving experience, in the core areas of large cities like downtown or major roads, the high density of cameras means wrong-way driving is almost always captured due to fixed electronic monitoring systems. However, in smaller towns like my hometown, some one-way streets lack sufficient surveillance, relying more on manual patrols by traffic police than automated cameras, allowing occasional avoidance. Technically, cameras are divided into fixed and mobile types, with some road sections even equipped with AI recognition devices that can accurately capture license plates. Although the probability isn't always 100%, taking the risk of driving the wrong way is hardly worth it—not only could you face hefty fines, but the safety risks, especially the potential for collisions, are enormous. I recommend drivers use navigation apps to plan routes in advance, avoiding accidental entry into one-way streets, as developing good habits saves both hassle and money.
