How Long Does It Take to Receive a Notification for Speeding on the Highway?

Highway violations are the same as general violations, and the fastest it takes to check is about 3 days, while the latest will not exceed 13 working days. If it is an out-of-town violation, it may take 2-3 weeks to check. Below is the relevant introduction to highway violations: Relevant regulations: There are regulations for speeding on the highway, which means that if the speed does not exceed 10% of the speed limit, there will be no fine or points deducted. However, once exceeded, points will be deducted. Regardless of whether it reaches 10%, it is still considered speeding. Determining speed: When driving, the speed is determined based on the speedometer. However, because the actual speed of the car is calculated by a system and ABS inside the car, there may be deviations in different road sections compared to the speedometer. Generally, the actual speed is lower than the speed shown on the speedometer. This is designed for safety considerations, so there is a 10% leniency when measuring speed on the highway.
Having driven on highways for over a decade, I've often encountered speeding violations. The notification time is unpredictable, usually receiving a text or letter about 7 days after the violation, but it varies greatly by location. For instance, urban expressways are quicker, around 3-5 days; remote sections might take up to 10 days. After a surveillance camera captures the violation, the data must be transmitted to the traffic police for review, and the ticket is only sent after confirmation. Don't assume there's no record—all violations are stored in the system. I recommend using the 12123 APP to check; it updates in real-time and is hassle-free. Drive safely and don't rush—speeding carries high risks. Reflecting on one accident that nearly caused a disaster, speed limits are there to protect everyone.
From the perspective of traffic regulations, notifications for speeding on highways generally arrive within 5 to 14 days. After receiving data from electronic monitoring devices, traffic authorities manually verify whether the speed exceeds the limit and identify the vehicle owner before generating a record and mailing the notification. Speeding between 10%-20% over the limit results in a penalty of 6 demerit points and a 200 yuan fine, while exceeding 20% incurs more severe penalties. Processing times vary by region; for example, Shenzhen handles cases faster, while mountainous areas may be slower. It is advisable not to wait for the notification but to check using the 12123 mobile app and settle the fine within one month to avoid late fees. The key is to adhere to speed limits and avoid rushing on the road to ensure safety.
The process of notifying speeding violations captured by high-speed cameras involves several technical steps. The cameras capture the license plate and speed data, which is then transmitted to the control center for automatic processing. After manual verification confirms no errors, a ticket is generated and mailed. This process can take anywhere from 1 to 10 days, with newer equipment being faster and older systems slower. Don’t overlook mobile speed traps, which may cause additional delays. While driving, pay attention to speed limit signs and avoid crossing lines to stay safe.
