How many days does it take for Traffic Management 12123 to detect running a red light?

Running a red light can generally be detected or receive an SMS notification through Traffic Management 12123 within 3 to 7 days, with the latest notification not exceeding 13 working days. Currently, the most accurate way to check vehicle violations and driving license points is to log in to the traffic bureau website where the vehicle is registered. Alternatively, you can access the query system on the 12123 website (i.e., the local public traffic police websites), where you need to input the license plate number and vehicle identification number. Criteria for defining running a red light: 1. Running a red light is determined when both the front and rear wheels of the vehicle are outside the line when the light turns red. The front wheel crossing the line does not trigger a photo; only when the rear wheel crosses the line does a photo cycle begin; 2. If two pulse signals are generated within the same red light cycle, it is considered 'valid'; 3. Some drivers, after their front wheels cross the line, reverse back into the line to avoid being photographed, but still get captured because the system detects 'a pair' of pulse signals within the same red light cycle, deeming it 'valid'; 4. The photo system starts with a 2-second delay after the yellow light turns on. The system is already active when the red light turns on and shuts down 2 seconds before the green light turns on, mainly to prevent false captures.

Last time I accidentally ran a red light while driving, I immediately checked the record using the Traffic Management 12123 app. Generally, it takes about 3 to 7 days to see the results. This is quite common—background processing takes time. After the camera captures the image, it’s first transmitted to the system for review before being updated in the app. From my experience, the fastest result can appear the next day, but on average, 4 days is more reliable. If you don’t see anything within a week, it’s usually safe to assume nothing happened. During the waiting period, don’t stress; just refresh the app occasionally. Also, remind yourself to pay attention to traffic signals while driving—running a red light not only means fines and points but could also lead to accidents, harming yourself and others. Developing good habits is the best way to avoid trouble. Next time you see a green light about to change, slow down in advance to ensure safety and avoid unnecessary hassle.

As a seasoned driver with over a decade of experience, I've had several encounters with red-light violations. The traffic management app 12123 typically shows violation records within 1 to 7 working days. The reason is straightforward: after the electronic eye captures the image, local authorities need to verify the data before uploading it. Sometimes it takes as little as 24 hours, but delays can occur due to system maintenance—I once waited 5 days before seeing the ticket, which I promptly dealt with to avoid losing all my license points. These experiences have taught me not to rush through yellow lights and to always observe intersection conditions carefully. Safety is far more important than saving time—regret comes too late after an accident. For those of us frequently on the road, following the rules is the wisest choice.

Last time I ran a red light, I checked it on 12123, and the record appeared after two days, which was quite fast but may vary by region. The system usually updates within 1 to 7 days. Remember to pay the fine promptly once you find the record, otherwise it will affect your annual vehicle inspection. Driving is not something to be taken lightly; stay focused on the traffic light changes to avoid mistakes.
