Will speed cameras be active in a 70 km/h construction zone on the highway?

Speed cameras will be active in a 70 km/h construction zone on the highway. Below is an introduction to speed limits for two-lane and three-lane highways: 1. Two-lane highways: For highways with two lanes in the same direction, the speed range for the right lane is 60 to 100 km/h, while the left lane allows speeds from 100 to 120 km/h. 2. Three-lane highways: For highways with three lanes in the same direction, the speed range for the far-right lane is 60 to 90 km/h, the middle lane is 90 to 110 km/h, and the far-left lane is 110 to 120 km/h. The left lane is designated for overtaking, hence it has higher speed limits.
From driving experience, the speed limit of 70 km/h in highway construction zones is almost always enforced. I've seen too many fellow drivers get caught in such areas. Construction zones are usually equipped with mobile speed cameras or temporary surveillance, as traffic police are concerned about speeding causing accidents. After all, the lanes are narrowed and there are construction vehicles coming in and out, making it highly dangerous. Once when I was driving at night through a construction zone in Jiangsu, I saw the speed limit sign but still took a chance driving at 80 km/h, only to receive a ticket the following week. Now whenever I encounter a construction zone, I strictly adhere to the speed limit—safety first and peace of mind. It's advisable to install a radar detector for early warnings, but the most important thing is to consciously obey the speed limit.
