How long does it take to get the result of running a red light?
1 Answers
After running a red light, the text message for the violation photo is usually received within 3 to 7 days, and at the latest, within about 13 days. However, some cities now offer "instant electronic police capture alerts," where you can receive a text notification within 5-10 minutes of being captured. But the notification does not equate to a violation; it merely serves as a capture alert. The final determination of whether it is a violation still takes 3-7 days. If it is indeed a violation, you will receive another text message. For violations captured by surveillance cameras, car owners generally do not receive the violation text message immediately. There is a delay, and the duration can 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 traffic police staff for verification. Once the violation is confirmed, the system automatically retrieves the corresponding car owner's mobile phone number based on the license plate information. Only then is the violation sent to the car owner via text message. After receiving the violation text message, the car owner must go to the traffic police department at the location of the violation to handle the matter within one month before the annual vehicle inspection. Generally, if a car owner suspects they have committed a violation, they can use 15 days as a benchmark. If no violation text message is received after 15 days, it is likely that no violation has been recorded. Methods for traffic violation inquiries: Traffic violation inquiry refers to checking motor vehicle violations of traffic management through the internet or query terminals. Methods include website queries, phone inquiries, text message inquiries, mobile app inquiries, and offline terminal inquiries. Website inquiry: You can search for "vehicle violation inquiry" and input your vehicle information to check. Phone inquiry: You can call 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 handled at the location of the violation. Text message inquiry: Open your phone's text message interface, input "WZ license plate number, plate color," and send it to 1062650001. Mobile app inquiry: Open the "Traffic Management 12123" app, select "violation inquiry," and find unresolved violations to clear them. Offline terminal inquiry: Visit the local traffic management hall and use the self-service query machine to input the license plate number and check recent violation records.
