Will speeding over 60 km/h in the construction zone on the Beijing-Shanghai Expressway result in a fine?

According to regulations, temporary speed limits due to construction will not result in fines. Here is some relevant information about expressways: 1. Definition: An expressway is a high-grade road designed to accommodate an average daily traffic volume of over 25,000 passenger cars. It is exclusively for high-speed divided-lane vehicle travel with full access control. 2. Classification: Expressways are categorized into five levels: expressway, first-class highway, second-class highway, third-class highway, and fourth-class highway. Expressways can also be divided into two types: urban expressways and intercity expressways.
As a veteran driver with decades of experience, I can say with certainty that speeding in the 60 km/h construction zones on the Beijing-Shanghai Expressway will definitely result in a fine. I've driven this highway several times, and the construction areas are full of cameras and mobile speed traps. The system automatically records any speeding. The fines are not light either, ranging from 200 yuan and 3 demerit points to over a thousand yuan and 6 demerit points. The construction zones are already narrow, full of potholes, and cluttered with construction materials, making speeding highly likely to hit something or injure workers. Once, I was in a hurry and sped, only to receive a ticket—costing me money and points, which I deeply regretted. Now, I honestly slow down, prioritizing safety and saving money. I recommend using cruise control or a navigation app to remind yourself not to speed.
