Does 110 handle car relocation requests?

It's best to call 114 for car relocation. Here are two methods for car relocation: Calling 110 for car relocation: Vehicle owners can call 110 for car relocation. Generally, 110 will redirect the caller to a dedicated car relocation hotline to handle the request. Calling 114 for car relocation: Call 114 for car relocation and provide the license plate number to the operator. The operator will find the vehicle owner's phone number and notify them. The prerequisite for calling 114 is that the vehicle owner has previously registered their phone number with 114. If the owner hasn't registered with 114, the operator won't be able to retrieve the owner's information. Usually, there's an insurance sticker on the upper right corner of the vehicle, which contains the insurance company's contact number. You can call the insurance company, provide the license plate number, and they will locate the owner's information and contact them.

Whether 110 can handle car relocation depends on the specific situation. If someone parks illegally blocking a fire lane or ambulance access, you can definitely call 110 to report it, as this involves public safety emergencies. For common issues like someone blocking your parking space in a residential area, 110 usually suggests contacting the vehicle owner or property management first, given limited police resources. Many cities have dedicated channels, such as the one-click car relocation feature on the Traffic Management 12123 app, which is more efficient than calling 110. I've had my car blocked twice before—once I called 114 to contact the owner for relocation, and another time it was resolved through property management coordination. 110 is the last resort, as there might be others on the road who need them more urgently.

Regarding whether to call 110 for car removal, there's actually a boundary issue. If it's simply blocking the way without causing danger, I recommend prioritizing the car removal service via the Traffic Management 12123 app. The other day, my neighbor couldn't get out because their car was blocked. We first contacted the property management through the WeChat group, who sent three car removal notices. After half an hour with no response from the car owner, we called the police. The officers who arrived also educated the owner about the safety hazards of illegal parking and ultimately issued a ticket. Key point: 110 handles situations affecting public order or posing safety risks. For ordinary parking disputes, it's best to try other approaches first. Only when truly deadlocked should you consider calling the police.

As a seasoned driver who has been blocked seven or eight times, I have plenty of experience dealing with car relocation. For regular parking space occupation, dialing 114 for the car relocation service is the easiest solution—just scan the license plate to contact the owner. 110 is mainly for emergency situations, such as a car blocking a residential gate causing chaos or obstructing a hospital emergency lane—life-threatening scenarios. I remember last time on a rainy day, a car was parked horizontally in front of a kindergarten, and the police arrived within five minutes to tow it away. A friendly reminder: Always leave a relocation phone number when parking temporarily. Many new car models now allow setting up an electronic relocation card on the central control screen to avoid inconveniencing others.
