Online inquiries about motor vehicle violation information generally take about a week. Below is the relevant introduction to violation inquiries: 1. If a motor vehicle commits a violation and is subject to penalties according to regulations, the public security network usually publishes the violation information within 7 working days. 2. If a motor vehicle commits a violation, the processing time cycle for electronic monitoring by traffic police is approximately 3-5 working days. 3. The time for violation information to be published refers to the scope of the province, municipality, or autonomous region. If it involves crossing provinces, municipalities, or autonomous regions, the online inquiry time may extend to more than 15 working days. 4. Methods for motor vehicle violation inquiries: traffic branch terminal inquiries, service website inquiries, phone inquiries, mobile inquiries, and tool inquiries.
I remember once being caught speeding by a camera on the highway, and it took almost a week to receive the ticket notification via text. That was because the data needed time to be transmitted from the device to the processing center, followed by manual review of the footage to confirm the violation before issuing the notice. For most electronic captures in urban areas, results are usually available within 7 to 10 days; in rural or remote areas, it might take over two weeks. If you're pulled over by the police on the spot, the ticket is issued immediately, and you'll see it right away. I recommend paying close attention to speed limit signs while driving to avoid speeding or running red lights. After being captured, you can download a traffic violation checking app on your phone, enter your license plate number to check, which is more efficient than waiting for a text message.
