How Long Does It Take to Check Red Light Violation Information?
1 Answers
After running a red light, the violation information can generally be checked within about 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. But the notification does not equate to a violation; it is merely a capture alert. The final determination of whether it constitutes a violation still takes 3-7 days. If it is indeed a violation, you will receive another SMS notification. For violations captured by surveillance cameras, car owners usually 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. After consolidation, it is then handed over to the relevant staff of the traffic police department for verification. Once the violation is confirmed, the system will automatically query the corresponding car owner's mobile phone number based on the license plate information. Only then will the violation details be sent to the car owner via SMS. After receiving the violation SMS, the car owner needs to settle all previous violations within one month before the annual vehicle inspection. Generally, if a car owner suspects a violation, they can use 15 days as a benchmark. If no violation SMS is received after 15 days, it is likely that no violation has been recorded. Traffic Violation Query Methods: Traffic violation query refers to checking motor vehicle violations of traffic management through online or terminal methods. Methods for querying traffic violations include website queries, phone queries, SMS queries, mobile app queries, and offline terminal queries. Website Query: You can search for "vehicle violation query" and input 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 license plate issuance location. For on-the-spot violations, such as those directly caught by traffic police, they must be processed at the location of the violation. SMS Query: Open your phone's SMS interface; enter "WZ [license plate number] [license plate color]" in the message content; input "1062650001" as the recipient and click send. Mobile App Query: Open the "Traffic Management 12123" app, select "Violation Query," and find and clear any unprocessed violations. Offline Terminal Query: You can visit the local traffic management hall and use the self-service query machine to input the license plate number and check recent violation records.
