Will Out-of-Town License Plates Be 100% Photographed on Elevated Roads?
2 Answers
If a car with an out-of-town license plate enters a restricted road section during restricted hours, it will be photographed. If the restricted road section includes elevated roads, cars with out-of-town license plates will definitely be photographed when driving on elevated roads during restricted hours, and will be subject to fines and penalty points. More information about restrictions on out-of-town license plate vehicles is as follows: 1. Introduction: Currently, many large cities have certain restrictions on cars with out-of-town license plates. These restrictions prohibit driving on certain road sections or within certain areas during specific time periods. Such restrictions are implemented to alleviate traffic congestion during peak hours. Large cities have a vast number of vehicles, and traffic congestion during peak hours is very severe. 2. Reasons for Vehicle Restrictions: With economic development, people have become more affluent, and living standards have continuously improved. Private cars are now a means of transportation that everyone can afford, so many households own more than one car. In densely populated cities, the rapid growth in the number of private cars has led to road congestion. Many cities have introduced license plate restrictions and driving restrictions to prevent the overly rapid growth of private car ownership and to alleviate traffic congestion during peak hours.
As a seasoned driver with over a decade of experience, I've seen many out-of-town license plates on elevated roads. The claim that they're 100% caught on camera isn't absolute—it depends on the city and specific road sections. In major cities like Shanghai and Beijing, out-of-town plates are indeed restricted on elevated roads during peak hours. Electronic eyes are installed at key entrances and exits, primarily using automatic license plate recognition systems, but not every corner has surveillance. Some sections have fewer cameras or only operate at specific times. I recommend turning on navigation apps like Gaode Maps as soon as you get in the car—they can alert you to restricted zones and help avoid high-risk areas. Always pay attention to road signs while driving, and check regulations on government websites. Don't gamble with it—getting caught means fines of several hundred yuan plus demerit points, which isn't worth it. Safety first: if you should take surface roads, do so. Being stuck in traffic is better than trouble. In short, not all areas have cameras, but the risk is high—developing good habits is what matters most.
