How Many Days Does It Take to Receive a Traffic Violation Notification?
3 Answers
Traffic violation notifications are typically issued within 3-7 days, either through online checks or SMS alerts, with the latest notification not exceeding 13 working days. Below are specific measures to avoid violations: 1. Seat Belts: Always fasten your seat belt while driving. Failure to do so may result in penalties if caught by traffic police or captured on camera. During driving, seat belts work in conjunction with airbags. Without a seat belt, the effectiveness of airbags is significantly reduced, potentially posing a threat to the driver's safety. 2. Observe Road Signs: Familiarize yourself with road signs to fundamentally avoid violations while driving. 3. Avoid Speeding: Poor speed control can lead to speeding. Always adhere to posted speed limits to prevent violations. 4. Do Not Use Non-Motor Vehicle Lanes: Avoid driving on sidewalks or slow lanes. Driving outside designated lanes may result in penalties if captured by traffic cameras.
Just helped my neighbor check this a couple of days ago. The Traffic Management 12123 APP push notification can arrive as fast as three days, while SMS usually comes within a week. However, for out-of-town violations or those occurring over weekends, it might take up to half a month. My last speeding ticket in another province didn’t pop up as an SMS reminder until the 8th day. Remember to regularly refresh the 'unprocessed' section in the APP—once my SMS got intercepted, and I only found out through the APP. If there’s no message after 15 days, you’re probably in the clear, but checking at the DMV self-service kiosk is the most accurate.
Last time I had my car repaired, I chatted with a buddy from the traffic police team. He mentioned that electronic camera captures first go through manual review before being uploaded to the system, usually within 5 working days. But it really varies by location—Shenzhen pushes notifications within 48 hours, while small towns might drag it out to 10 days. The key is whether the license plate tied to your 12123 account is correct. Many car owners miss notifications because they didn’t update their new plate numbers. Paper tickets are issued on the spot, but for out-of-town violations, you’ll have to wait for data synchronization. My advice is to start checking the APP daily from the 3rd day after a violation. A friend of mine waited two weeks for a text message, only to find the ticket had been sitting in 12123 all along.
