Jaywalkers beware! Police are watching

While drivers who run red lights risk fines of 200 yuan ($32) and six points on their licenses if caught by surveillance cameras, jaywalkers often get a free pass.

But now they will need to be more vigilant, at least in Guangzhou, Guangdong province, as traffic police have introduced new measures to deal with pedestrian violations.

According to the Panyu district traffic police department, surveillance cameras targeting jaywalkers have begun trial runs on major roads in the district.
