How long does it take to receive a traffic violation notice for crossing a solid line?
2 Answers
If you are caught crossing a solid line by an electronic traffic camera, the violation result is usually available within 3 to 7 days, and you can check your violation record. Here are some methods to avoid crossing solid lines: Do not change lanes randomly or exceed lanes before traffic light intersections: If your vehicle cannot return to the original lane in time, do not cross the line to get back. Instead, find an intersection to make a U-turn. Change lanes only when the line is dashed: While driving, pay attention to the road markings. When turning, observe the directional signs on the ground to ensure that neither the left nor right wheels cross the line when entering the turning lane. When encountering a combination of solid and dashed lines, make sure the direction you are traveling is on the dashed side.
I've been driving for several years, and the last time I crossed a solid line was in a left-turn lane in the city. It was raining heavily, and I didn't notice the road markings clearly—the electronic police caught me with a quick snap. I actually received the SMS notification on the afternoon of the third day, which was quite fast. I heard that the time difference mainly depends on the efficiency of the local traffic police review. In some places, the backend processing is slow and may take five days to a week. If it coincides with holidays or system upgrades, it could even take over ten days. A friend of mine crossed a solid line on the highway and was caught by surveillance, receiving the SMS notification only a week later. I recommend everyone to install the Traffic Management 12123 APP and link their license plate number to check violations in real-time—it’s faster than SMS notifications. Additionally, to avoid crossing solid lines, besides paying attention to lane markings, you should also check navigation prompts in advance, especially at intersections, and avoid making sudden turns.
