How many days does it take to receive a notification for traffic violation photos?
1 Answers
Generally, SMS notifications for traffic violation photos are received within 3 to 7 days, with a maximum of around 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 this notification does not equate to a violation; it merely serves as a capture alert. The final determination of whether it constitutes a violation takes 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 typically do not receive an immediate violation notification via SMS. There is usually a delay, and the duration can vary. After an electronic camera captures a 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 personnel for verification. Once confirmed as a violation, the system automatically retrieves the vehicle owner's phone number based on the license plate information and sends the violation details via SMS. After receiving the violation SMS, vehicle owners must visit the traffic police department at the location of the violation within one month before the vehicle's annual inspection. If a vehicle owner suspects a violation, they can use 15 days as a benchmark. If no violation SMS is received within 15 days, it is likely that no violation was recorded. Methods for querying traffic violations: Traffic violation queries refer to checking motor vehicle violations of traffic management rules through online platforms or query terminals. Methods include terminal queries at traffic police branches, traffic violation websites, phone queries, and mobile app queries. Website query: You can search for "vehicle violation query" and enter your vehicle information to check. Phone query: Dial local 114 (area code + 114) or 12580 to confirm traffic violations. Violations can only be processed at the location of the violation or the vehicle's license plate issuance location. For on-the-spot violations, such as those directly caught by a traffic officer, they must be processed at the violation location. Mobile app query: Open the "Traffic Management 12123" app, select "violation query," and clear any unresolved violations.
