How long does it take to receive a notification after 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 a notification does not necessarily mean a violation; it serves only as a capture alert. Whether it is an actual violation will be confirmed within 3-7 days. If it is indeed a violation, you will receive another text message. For traffic violations captured by surveillance cameras, vehicle owners generally do not receive a violation text message 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, where it is compiled and then forwarded to the relevant traffic police staff for verification. Once confirmed as a violation, the system automatically retrieves the vehicle owner's phone number based on the license plate information and sends the violation details via text message. After receiving the violation text message, the vehicle owner must go to the traffic police department where the violation occurred to address the issue within one month before the vehicle's annual inspection. Generally, if a vehicle owner suspects a violation, they can use 15 days as a benchmark. If no violation text is received within 15 days, it is likely that no violation was recorded. Methods for checking traffic violations: Traffic violation checking refers to the process of querying motor vehicle violations of traffic management through online platforms or query terminals. There are five ways to check vehicle violations: traffic branch terminal queries, vehicle violation website queries, phone queries, mobile text message queries, and mobile app queries. Website query: You can search for "vehicle violation query" and enter the vehicle information to check. Phone query: To check violations, you can call the local 114 (area code + 114) or 12580 for confirmation. Violations can only be processed at the location where they occurred or at the traffic police department where the vehicle's license plate was issued. For on-site violations, such as those directly caught by a traffic officer, they must be processed at the violation location. Mobile text message query: Open the text message interface on your phone; enter "WZ [license plate number] [license plate color]" in the message content; input "1062650001" as the recipient, then click send. Mobile app query: Open the "Traffic Management 12123" app, select "Violation Query," and find unresolved violations to clear them.
