Will temporary speed limits in rainy weather on highways be photographed?

Highway temporary speed limits during rainy weather will not be photographed. When encountering low visibility conditions such as fog, snow, sandstorms, or hail on highways, drivers should exercise caution in rainy weather by immediately turning on windshield wipers. If the weather is dim, turn on low-beam headlights and fog lights, adjust speed, and maintain a safe distance. 1. When visibility is less than 200 meters, drivers should activate fog lights, low-beam headlights, clearance lights, and front/rear position lights. Speed must not exceed 60 km/h, and a distance of at least 100 meters should be maintained from the vehicle ahead in the same lane. 2. When visibility is less than 100 meters, activate fog lights, low-beam headlights, clearance lights, front/rear position lights, and hazard warning flashers. Speed must not exceed 40 km/h, and a distance of at least 50 meters should be maintained from the vehicle ahead in the same lane. 3. When visibility is less than 50 meters, activate fog lights, low-beam headlights, clearance lights, front/rear position lights, and hazard warning flashers. Speed must not exceed 20 km/h, and drivers should exit the highway via the nearest exit as soon as possible.
As a seasoned driver with over a decade of experience on highways, I know that temporary speed limits during rainy days are strictly enforced with cameras. When the rain is heavy, the road becomes extremely slippery, and visibility is poor. Highway authorities will display reduced speed limits on electronic signs, such as dropping from 120 km/h to 80 km/h. These speed limits are strictly enforced, with fixed speed cameras or mobile monitoring points nearby specifically targeting speeding vehicles. I remember last summer during a heavy rainstorm, I saw a car ahead accelerate past, and my navigation app immediately alerted me to a camera flash. Later, I heard that the driver was fined 200 RMB and received penalty points. So, I always advise controlling your speed during rainy conditions—don’t gamble with luck, as safety comes first above all else.
