Generally, it takes 3 to 7 days to check for red light violations on the 12123 platform, with a maximum delay of no more than 13 working days. Red Light Violation Penalty Standards: According to Article 2, Section 1, Clause 2 of the "Scoring Standards for Road Traffic Safety Violations," driving a motor vehicle in violation of traffic signal lights will result in a deduction of 6 points. Article 3, Section 1, Clause 8 states that driving a motor vehicle in violation of prohibition signs or markings will result in a deduction of 3 points. How to Check for Red Light Violations: You can check for red light violations through the "Traffic Management 12123" app. After opening the app, log in using your ID card, then find and click on the "Violation Handling" option. Under "Violation Handling," you can view the current status of your vehicle. If there are any violations, the specific details will be displayed. You can also check at the service halls of the traffic enforcement offices in various districts and counties by using the touch query terminals. Alternatively, visit the official websites of the local public security traffic management bureaus, locate the "Vehicle Violation Query" section, enter your license plate number and engine number, and click "Query."

I've been driving for over a decade. If you run a red light on weekends and get caught by cameras, it usually takes 1 to 3 business days to see the record. The traffic police department's data processing only operates normally from Monday to Friday, so weekend violations get backlogged until Monday. Last time I ran a red light on Friday night, I didn't see the record on the 12123 app until Tuesday. If there's system maintenance or holidays, waiting up to 5 days is normal. Nowadays cameras are all networked for real-time capture - don't count on luck. The real danger of running red lights is potentially causing accidents. Losing 6 points and 200 yuan is trivial compared to matters of life and death.

As a new driver, I'm most afraid of traffic violations. Last Sunday, I accidentally ran a red light at an intersection and was so nervous that I checked the Traffic Management 12123 app for three straight days. The customer service said weekend violation data usually uploads to the system within 48 hours, but review waits until weekdays. My record didn't show until Wednesday, during which time I even prepared the dashcam footage. Reminder to everyone: Don't just wait for SMS notifications to check violations—the app updates faster. Efficiency varies by location; in big cities like Shanghai, you might see results the next day, while smaller cities may take an extra day or two. Recommend setting up app push notifications to handle violations promptly and avoid late fees.

Last Saturday, while rushing my child to an extracurricular class, I impulsively ran a yellow light. My neighbor who works at the traffic management office informed me: the electronic surveillance capture data is uploaded as usual on weekends, but manual review must wait until Monday when work resumes. He suggested I check the traffic police app twice daily, as results typically appear within 1-4 days. Sure enough, the violation record appeared at noon on Tuesday, accompanied by a notification SMS. Here's an additional lesser-known fact: some new-generation smart traffic lights can instantly determine violations and upload them to the system within three minutes. Regardless, when encountering a yellow light, one should always slow down—never follow my example of trying to save those few seconds, as safety is paramount.
