Will speeding at the starting point of highway section speed measurement result in penalty points?

Speeding at the starting point of highway section speed measurement will not result in penalty points. Section speed measurement: It involves setting up two adjacent monitoring points on the same road section. The principle is to calculate the average speed of the vehicle on that section based on the time it takes to pass the two monitoring points, and then determine whether the vehicle has violated the speed limit according to the set standard for that section. Maximum speed in section speed measurement: If the maximum speed in section speed measurement exceeds its average speed, for example, 80, whether this will result in a fine depends on whether the speeding is captured by the speed measurement equipment. If captured, a fine will be imposed; if not, and the average speed is lower than the set section speed, no fine will be imposed.
I also pondered this issue when driving long distances on the highway before. The principle of average speed measurement is to calculate the average speed from point A to point B, but the starting point camera still measures speed individually. If you're caught speeding at the starting point, you'll definitely get points deducted and fined. Speeding on the highway can result in 3 to 12 penalty points, and exceeding the limit by 20% will at least incur a 200-yuan fine and 3 points. Once, my friend floored the accelerator at the starting point, and although the average speed didn't exceed the limit, the initial burst of speed got him fined. So don't assume the starting point doesn't monitor speed—maintain a steady speed as soon as you enter the camera's coverage area. Safety first, and sticking to the speed limit is the most worry-free approach.
