How Long After Running a Red Light Will You Receive a Notification?
1 Answers
After running a red light, the illegal photo notification SMS is usually received within 3 to 7 days, with the latest being around 13 days. However, some cities now offer "instant electronic police capture alerts," where you can receive an SMS notification within 5-10 minutes of being captured. However, this notification does not equate to a traffic violation; it merely serves as a capture alert. The final determination of whether it constitutes a violation will take 3-7 days. If it is indeed a violation, you will receive another SMS notification. For traffic violations captured by surveillance cameras, vehicle owners generally do not receive the violation SMS immediately. There is a delay, and the duration may vary. This is because after the electronic camera captures the violation, the relevant violation information needs to be transmitted through a dedicated channel to the traffic police management center, where it is compiled before being handed over to the relevant staff for verification. Once confirmed as a violation, the system automatically retrieves the vehicle owner's phone number based on the license plate information and then sends the violation details via SMS to the owner, who will then receive the corresponding violation message. After receiving the violation SMS, the vehicle owner must go to the traffic police department at the location of the violation to handle the matter within one month before the vehicle's annual inspection. Generally, if a vehicle owner suspects they have committed a violation, they can use 15 days as a benchmark. If no violation SMS is received within 15 days, it is likely that no violation was recorded. Traffic Violation Query Methods: Traffic violation queries refer to checking motor vehicle violations of traffic management rules through online methods or query terminals. Methods for querying vehicle violations include vehicle violation websites, phone queries, SMS queries, mobile app queries, and offline terminal queries. Website Query: You can search for "vehicle violation query" and enter your vehicle information to check. Phone Query: You can call the local 114 (area code + 114) or 12580 to confirm traffic violations. Violations can only be processed at the location of the violation or the vehicle's license plate registration location. For on-the-spot violations, such as those directly caught by a traffic officer, they must be handled at the violation location. SMS Query: Open your phone's SMS interface, enter "WZ [license plate number] [license plate color]" in the message content, and send it to 1062650001. Mobile App Query: Open the Traffic Management 12123 app, select "violation query," and find any unprocessed violations to clear them. Offline Terminal Query: Visit the local traffic management hall and use the self-service query machine to enter your license plate number and check recent violation records.
