Shanghai traffic police have started to use their street cameras to catch drivers who change lanes without turning on turn signals.
Since January, the first camera with this function, which is located on Xinzha Road near Chengdu Road N. in Jing’an District, has caught over 500 such offences, police said on Sunday.
Motorists will be fined 100 yuan (US$15), with one point deducted from their driving license.
While the offence is quite common, it could affect motorists in the lane the offenders are driving into and cause traffic accidents, police said.
Police added that they have received over 250,000 video reports from motorists about the offence in the past three years since they enabled online reports of traffic offences.
