Recently, a netizen named ctier inadvertently discovered something startling while checking for traffic violations: "At 10 major traffic violation hotspots in Dongguan, cameras captured nearly 450,000 vehicle violations. At 200 yuan per violation, that amounts to almost 90 million yuan."
Is one of the 10 black spots in Dongguan actually in Qingyuan?
Response: All fines go to the government treasury.
After ctier's post appeared online, it immediately drew attention from netizens. Some thought the fines were too high, with nearly 90 million yuan collected just from 10 black spots. However, more netizens supported the use of cameras for monitoring traffic violations, “From another perspective, these cameras at the black spots are quite effective. If there were no cameras, even more people would violate the law.” Netizen Bin Teng's comments were representative.
Relevant personnel from the traffic police department stated, “Traffic violation fines are paid by car owners themselves at banks and this money belongs to the government treasury. Moreover, video surveillance installations have been approved by the government.” As for why the Jingzhu Expressway section in Qingyuan appeared on the list of top 10 traffic violation hotspots in Dongguan, he claimed ignorance. Staff members from Yangguang.com stated that their rankings were compiled based on data they had collected, mainly focusing on violations involving Dongguan vehicles nationwide, so it was not surprising that the Jingzhu Expressway appeared on the list.
