How many days after running a red light will I receive a text message?

After running a red light, the illegal photo notification message is usually received within 3 to 7 days, and at the latest, around 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 this notification does not equate to a traffic violation; it merely serves as a capture alert. The final determination of whether it constitutes a violation takes 3-7 days. If it is indeed a violation, you will receive another text message notification. For traffic violations captured by surveillance cameras, vehicle owners generally do not receive the violation notification immediately. There is a delay, and the duration of this delay 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. It is then compiled and forwarded to the relevant traffic police department staff for verification. Only after the violation is confirmed will the system automatically retrieve the vehicle owner's phone number based on the license plate information and send the violation details via text message. The owner will then receive the corresponding violation notification. After receiving the violation notification, 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 notification 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 regulations through online platforms or query terminals. There are five ways to check for traffic violations: traffic branch terminal queries, traffic violation website queries, phone queries, mobile text message queries, and mobile app queries. Website query: You can search for "vehicle violation query" and enter your vehicle information to check. Phone query: To inquire about violations, you can call the local 114 (area code + 114) or 12580 for traffic violation 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 a traffic officer, they must be handled at the location of the violation. Mobile text message query: Open your phone's text message interface; enter "WZ [license plate number] [license plate color]" in the message content; enter "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.
