Will speeding at traffic lights be captured by cameras?

Speeding at traffic lights will be captured by cameras. Speeding less than 10% will not be penalized. Article 86 of the Road Traffic Safety Law: Exceeding the maximum speed limit by less than 50% will result in a fine and 3 demerit points; exceeding the maximum speed limit by more than 50% will result in a fine and 6 demerit points; vehicles exceeding the maximum speed limit by more than 50% on highways will result in a fine and 6 demerit points; all the above penalties will also lead to the revocation of the driver's license. Precautions at traffic lights: Nowadays, electronic eyes at intersections are equipped with functions for capturing traffic violations and speed detection, although some speed detection functions may not be activated. However, generally speaking, electronic eyes with speed detection function take photos from the front of the vehicle, while those at the rear of the vehicle only capture red-light running.
Once I was driving past the newly installed traffic light in the development zone and clearly saw a white square camera hanging on the horizontal bar. Later, I asked a friend who works as a traffic cop and learned that these smart cameras are incredibly powerful now. If you cross the line and overtake when the light is green, the induction loop will record it. If the radar detects speeding, it immediately triggers the flash to take photos—three clear shots showing both the license plate and the speed. Especially at intersections with violation warning screens, if you exceed the speed limit by 10%, a red warning will pop up immediately. So whether it's a red or green light, don't rush those few seconds when crossing an intersection. Last year, my buddy got a ticket for accelerating at the very end of a green light. Remember, the numbers on the speed limit signs are the most reliable—generally, it's no more than 60 in the city.
