How Long Does It Take to Receive Notification for Running a Red Light?
1 Answers
After running a red light, the illegal photo notification SMS 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 an SMS notification within 5-10 minutes of being captured. But the notification does not equate to a traffic violation; it merely serves as a capture alert. Whether it is indeed a violation will be confirmed within 3-7 days. If it is confirmed as a violation, you will receive another SMS notification. For traffic violations captured by surveillance cameras, vehicle owners generally do not receive the violation SMS immediately. There is a delay, and the duration may vary. After the electronic camera captures a 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 personnel for verification. Once the violation is confirmed, the system automatically retrieves the vehicle owner's mobile phone number based on the license plate information and sends the violation details via SMS to the owner, who then receives the corresponding violation notification. After receiving the violation SMS, the vehicle owner must go to the traffic police department where the violation occurred to handle the matter within one month before the vehicle's annual inspection. Generally, if a vehicle owner suspects they have committed a violation, they can use 15 days as a benchmark. If no violation SMS is received after 15 days, it is likely that no violation was recorded. Traffic Violation Query Methods: Traffic violation queries refer to checking motor vehicle violations of traffic management through online platforms or query terminals. Methods for querying traffic violations include website queries, phone queries, SMS queries, mobile app queries, and offline terminal queries. Website Query: You can search for "vehicle violation query" and input your vehicle information to check. Phone Query: To query violations, you can call the local 114 (area code + 114) or 12580 for confirmation. Violations can only be processed at the traffic police department where the violation occurred or where the vehicle's license plate was issued. For on-the-spot violations, such as those directly caught by traffic police, they must be handled at the location of the violation. SMS Query: Open your phone's SMS composition interface; enter "WZ" followed by your license plate number and color in the message body; input 1062650001 as the recipient and click send. Mobile App Query: Open the Traffic Management 12123 app, select "Violation Query," and find any unprocessed violations to clear them. Offline Terminal Query: You can visit the local traffic management hall and use the self-service query machine to input your license plate number and check recent violation records.
