Will running over the white line when going straight on a green light be captured?

Running over a solid white line when going straight on a green light can be captured by cameras, resulting in fines or penalty points. Solid white lines must not be crossed, but crossing dashed white lines is not considered a violation. In fact, apart from solid white lines, there are many other road markings that vehicles are not allowed to cross, and if caught, drivers will also face fines and penalty points. Examples include solid white lines separating lanes in the same direction and solid yellow lines (single or double) prohibiting vehicles from crossing in either direction. Precautions for driving on the road: 1. Meaning of white lines: Most road traffic markings are white. White dashed lines separate lanes traveling in the same direction and allow lane changes by crossing the lines, while solid white lines prohibit crossing and often appear as extensions of dashed lines before intersections. When traffic lights change at intersections, vehicles can pass through quickly. Combined with directional signs at intersections, solid white lines separate straight-moving vehicles from those turning left or right to prevent straight-moving vehicles from affecting turning ones. 2. Common violations: Most violations captured by electronic surveillance for crossing or running over lines occur when vehicles cross or run over single solid lines at intersections. However, if a driver is forced to cross the line—for example, on the downhill slope under the Century Bridge, where one lane is blocked by an accident or official vehicles (such as bridge maintenance)—then crossing the line to change lanes is permissible.

I usually pay close attention to traffic rules while driving, but once I was in a hurry and accidentally crossed the solid white line while going straight on a green light. To be honest, I felt quite nervous and later looked up the regulations specifically. A solid line is like a wall on the road—crossing it under any circumstances is a violation. Nowadays, many intersections have high-definition cameras, some specifically targeting solid line violations, while others are linked with induction loops. However, the specifics depend on local enforcement standards. I've heard that some cities are particularly strict, imposing a 200-yuan fine and 3 penalty points for each violation. I recommend that new drivers observe lanes in advance at intersections and maintain a safe distance to avoid distractions that might lead to crossing the line. Of course, if you accidentally cross the line occasionally, don’t panic—if it’s not caught on camera, consider yourself lucky, but make sure it doesn’t happen again.

Last time I was in my friend's car going through a green light, his wheels crossed the white line and he insisted it was fine. That's not correct—solid white lines are no-crossing dividing lines according to traffic laws. Whether cameras capture it depends on multiple factors: for example, if the crossing exceeds 10 cm or if the vehicle continues driving across the line. Some smart cameras can track vehicle movement, so brief contact might be overlooked. But the chances of getting caught for changing lanes over a solid line are high. From my over ten years of driving experience, here's my advice: when approaching an intersection, put your phone away, grip the wheel firmly with both hands, and stay straight in your lane. If you're really in a hurry, change lanes early rather than trying tricks on solid lines.

During the driving test, the instructor emphasized that crossing the white line is like playing with your life. Going straight through a green light while crossing a solid white line is a traffic violation, just like crossing the line at a red light. Nowadays, traffic cameras are becoming increasingly intelligent, with some equipped with license plate recognition, and crossing solid lines can trigger automatic capture. However, whether a penalty is imposed depends on the specific road section settings—areas near schools and hospitals are definitely monitored more strictly. I’ve observed that newly marked roads with clear lane lines have higher enforcement rates. As a driver, the simplest method is to stay centered in your lane. Once you develop this habit, you won’t even need to constantly watch the lines, and you’ll avoid scraping adjacent vehicles. Safety first is far better than saving a few seconds.
