Can running a red light be handled in a different location?

According to Article 5 of the "Procedures for Handling Road Traffic Violations", running a red light can be handled in a different location. For red light violations recorded by traffic monitoring technology, the traffic management departments of public security organs at the place where the violation occurred, was discovered, or where the motor vehicle is registered all have jurisdiction. However, if the violator or the owner/manager of the motor vehicle disputes the facts of the violation recorded by traffic monitoring technology, they cannot raise objections in a different location. Methods to avoid running red lights while driving: When there are arrow signal lights, observe the arrow lights; otherwise, observe the circular lights. When the red light is on, the front of the vehicle must not cross the stop line. When the yellow light is on, the front of the vehicle must not cross the stop line. When the green light just starts flashing, if you are close and moving fast, you should proceed, as stopping might be impossible and you could cross the stop line. If you are far away, moving slowly, or the intersection is congested, you should stop. When driving in the city, develop the habit of looking for traffic lights whenever you see a crosswalk or stop line at an intersection.
Last time when I was traveling in Guangzhou, I accidentally ran a red light and only found out I was caught on camera after returning to my hometown. I went directly to the local traffic police station, and they were able to handle it with a computer check, which was quite convenient. Now the national traffic violation system is interconnected, so violations can generally be processed outside the location where they occurred, and the traffic management 12123 APP can also handle it. However, remember to process it within 15 days, otherwise late fees will be charged. If you are caught on the spot by traffic police, you may need to return to the violation location for processing, depending on the type of ticket. Also, bring your driver's license and vehicle registration when handling the violation, as procedures may vary slightly in different places.
Last time I was caught running a red light by an electronic eye while handling affairs in another province, and I could directly deal with it at the local traffic police station. Nowadays, handling traffic violations in a different location is indeed much more convenient than before. After the nationwide networking of the traffic violation system, non-on-site violations can be processed at the vehicle's registration location. The process is very simple: just bring your driver's license and ID card, and it can be completed at the counter in a few minutes. Note that the processing must be completed within 30 days, otherwise it may affect the annual inspection. If you have any objections to the violation, it's best to appeal at the place where the violation occurred. Before processing, you can check the specific information in the Alipay City Services.
