How many days does it take for traffic violations to appear on JingShiTong?

For on-site enforcement violation records, they can be checked online 5 working days after the ticket is issued. For non-on-site enforcement electronic monitoring violation records, under normal circumstances with all capturing equipment functioning properly, the violation record information will be published after 13 working days. Common violations are as follows: 1. Driving in the wrong direction: From the captured violation records, it is found that most instances of wrong-way driving occur when waiting for traffic signals or just after the signal turns green. Some impatient drivers, without waiting for the vehicle in front to start, directly drive over the center line or cross the double solid center line to overtake on the left opposing lane. Some drivers, when making a left turn, do not stay close to the center point of the intersection but instead cross the stop line and turn directly, resulting in driving onto the left lane of the center line when entering the intersection and being captured. Others, for convenience, drive directly from the non-motorized lane or the side of the motorized lane in the wrong direction, causing other vehicles to avoid them and potentially leading to traffic disorder. 2. Illegal lane changes: Currently, intersections with traffic signals are basically divided into straight lanes, left-turn lanes, and right-turn lanes. Once a vehicle enters a designated lane, changing lanes is not allowed. If you enter the wrong lane, you cannot change lanes arbitrarily or make a turn within the road. You must proceed forward as required by the guiding lane and adjust at an intersection where U-turns are permitted. 3. Speeding: Speed limits are generally set on urban roads with good traffic conditions, curves, or accident-prone sections. Clear speed limit signs and advance speed detection signs are placed on both sides of the road. When driving through a section with speed limit signs, you must control your speed and drive at the prescribed speed.
Last time I helped my neighbor check for traffic violations, I noticed significant differences in processing speeds across regions. Generally, local electronic police captures show up on the 12123 app within 3-5 days, but weekends or holidays may delay it to 7 days. Out-of-town violations are the most troublesome—when I was speeding during a road trip in Yunnan, the record took nearly two weeks to appear. It mainly depends on the local traffic authorities' data upload efficiency. I heard that with the recent system upgrades, many cities now achieve 72-hour synchronization. My advice is not to check daily after a violation; twice a week is enough, or you can wait for the SMS notification. If there’s no update after half a month, you’re probably in the clear!
