How long does it take to check a red light running violation?
2 Answers
Generally, red light running violations can be checked within 3 to 7 days, and no later than 13 working days. There are two ways to check for red light running violations: 1. Visit the local vehicle management office with the vehicle's driving license and driver's license; 2. Check online for vehicle violations. Red light running refers to the act of motor vehicles, non-motor vehicles, pedestrians, etc., violating the instructions of traffic signals by crossing the stop line and continuing to move when the red light is on and prohibits passage. Motor vehicles passing through intersections should follow the instructions of traffic lights, traffic signs, traffic markings, or traffic police.
Running a red light is usually detected quickly after being caught on camera. I've experienced it myself—the system captures the license plate, and the data is transmitted to the traffic police center for processing. The entire process can take as little as three days or up to one or two weeks, depending on local equipment. Big cities are more efficient, and you might receive an SMS notification within two days. In smaller towns or during holidays, delays are more common. Factors affecting the speed include network transmission and police workload. From a safety perspective, running a red light is extremely dangerous and has a high accident rate. It's better to wait three minutes than to risk it. Apps like Traffic Management 12123 allow real-time record checks, so checking early gives peace of mind. Remember, fines and penalty points aren't worth it—following the rules is the best way to stay worry-free.
