Running a red light will typically appear on the Traffic Management 12123 platform within 3 days to 2 weeks. Other methods for querying traffic violations: 1. Query at the traffic police station. Visit the office halls of traffic police branches in various districts and counties, and use the touch-screen query terminals. Required documents include: driver's license, vehicle license, and ID card. 2. Website query. Log in to the official service websites of the public security traffic management bureaus of various cities, locate the vehicle violation query section, enter the license plate number and vehicle engine number, and click to query. 3. Mobile app query. Mobile users can download apps such as "Check Violations," input the license plate number, vehicle engine number, and location information, and query vehicle violation details in real-time. Determination of running a red light: Generally, traffic authorities will judge based on photos taken by electronic eyes. If the vehicle has clearly moved beyond the stop line during a red light, it will be penalized. The three photos captured by electronic eyes for running a red light are: 1. The vehicle crossing the stop line. 2. The vehicle moving to the middle of the intersection. 3. The vehicle reaching the opposite side of the intersection. These three photos document the vehicle's movement during the red light, with the key point being the recording of significant positional changes. Only when the electronic eye captures all three photos will it be considered running a red light. According to the latest traffic regulations, this offense incurs a 6-point penalty. If the vehicle merely crosses the stop line during a red light but stops immediately, it is not considered running a red light. However, stopping beyond the line is still a violation. According to Article 4, Clause 5 of the "Scoring Standards for Road Traffic Safety Violations," "failing to drive or park as required at intersections" results in a 2-point penalty.
As a friend who drives frequently, I can tell you that the time it takes for a red light violation to appear on the 12123 App is usually around 1 to 3 business days, but sometimes it can be shorter or longer. This is mainly because the footage from the camera needs to be manually reviewed before being entered into the system. From my experience, if you are caught violating traffic rules at an intersection, the authorities first need to confirm the license plate and violation details, which typically takes a day or two. After that, the data is uploaded to the 12123 backend, and you can check the record in the query service after logging into the App. I recommend checking the App a day or two after each trip to avoid missing the processing deadline and incurring increased fines. Additionally, processing speeds may vary by city—larger cities tend to be more efficient, while smaller towns may be slower. In any case, don’t expect to find the answer on the same day.
