Can Running a Red Light Violation Be Checked on the Same Day?
1 Answers
Generally, traffic violation records for running a red light cannot be checked on the same day. After running a red light, it usually takes 3 to 7 days for the violation to appear in the system, with the latest being no more than 13 working days. However, some cities now offer an "Instant Notification for Electronic Police Capture" service, where you may receive an SMS notification within 5-10 minutes after being captured. But this notification does not equate to a confirmed violation; it merely serves as a capture alert. The final determination of whether it constitutes a violation still requires 3-7 days. If it is indeed a violation, you will receive another SMS notification. For violations captured by surveillance cameras, vehicle owners typically do not receive an immediate violation notification via SMS; there is usually a delay, and the duration may vary. This is because after an electronic camera captures a violation, the relevant information needs to be transmitted through a dedicated channel to the traffic police management center. It is then compiled and forwarded to the relevant traffic police personnel for verification. Only after the violation is confirmed will the system automatically retrieve the vehicle owner's phone number based on the license plate information and send the violation details via SMS. After receiving the violation SMS, vehicle owners must address the violation at the local traffic police department within one month before the vehicle's annual inspection. If you suspect you have committed a violation, you can use 15 days as a benchmark. If no violation SMS is received within 15 days, it is likely that no violation was recorded. Methods for Traffic Violation Queries: Traffic violation queries refer to checking motor vehicle violations of traffic regulations through online platforms or query terminals. Methods for vehicle violation queries include website queries, phone queries, SMS queries, and mobile app queries. Website Query: You can search for "vehicle violation query" and enter your vehicle information to check. Phone Query: You can call local 114 (area code + 114) or 12580 to confirm traffic violations. Violations can only be processed at the location where they occurred or at the traffic police department where the vehicle's license plate was issued. For on-the-spot violations, such as those directly caught by a traffic officer, they must be handled at the location of the violation. SMS Query: Open your phone's SMS interface; enter your vehicle's license plate number in the message content; input 1062650001 as the recipient and click send. Mobile App Query: Open the "Traffic Management 12123" app, select "Violation Query," and clear any unresolved violations.
