How many days can it take to check provincial expressway violations?

The traffic control network exchanges data with the internal network of traffic police every night. After confirmation and upload, the violation can be checked on the traffic control network within no more than two working days. Expressway violation handling: For provincial expressway violations, you can check on the official website of the expressway traffic management in your province or at the service window of the expressway traffic police detachment. For expressway violations outside the province, you can inquire at the toll station exit of the local expressway or at the duty point of the traffic police, and handle them promptly on-site as required. Legal basis: Article 108 of the Road Traffic Safety Law: The party concerned shall pay the fine to the designated bank within 15 days from the date of receiving the administrative penalty decision for the fine. For fines imposed on pedestrians, passengers, and non-motor vehicle drivers, if the party concerned has no objection, the fine may be collected on the spot. The fine shall be issued with a unified fine receipt from the finance department of the province, autonomous region, or municipality directly under the central government. If a unified fine receipt from the finance department is not issued, the party concerned has the right to refuse to pay the fine.
I've been driving on highways within the province for many years and have plenty of experience with checking violation records. After being captured by cameras, the data is first uploaded to the backend, and it only becomes valid after being reviewed and confirmed by staff, which usually takes a few days. Normally, highway violations within the province can be checked on the Traffic Management 12123 App or the local official website within 3 to 5 days, but the timing isn't absolute—during peak periods after holidays or when the system is busy, it might take up to a week or even 10 days. There are also significant differences between provinces—for example, Jiangsu processes violations faster, while Zhejiang is slightly slower. I recommend that fellow drivers make it a habit to regularly check the App notifications; just enter the license plate number and ID number to get it done, so you can catch violations early and avoid late fees or interest. Safety comes first—driving properly to minimize violations is the best approach.
