How Many Days Does It Usually Take to Receive a Notification for Running a Red Light?
1 Answers
After running a red light, the notification message for the violation captured by cameras is usually received within 3 to 7 days, with the latest being 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 is 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 generally do not receive an immediate notification. There is a delay, and the duration may vary. After the electronic camera captures the violation, the relevant information needs to be transmitted through a dedicated channel to the traffic police management center. It is then compiled and forwarded to the relevant personnel for verification. If 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 notification, the vehicle owner must go to the local traffic police department to handle the matter within one month before the vehicle's annual inspection. Generally, if you suspect you have committed a violation, you can use 15 days as a benchmark. If no notification is received within 15 days, it is likely that no violation was recorded. Methods for Traffic Violation Queries: Traffic violation queries refer to checking motor vehicle violations of traffic regulations through online platforms or query terminals. There are five methods for vehicle violation queries: traffic branch terminal queries, vehicle violation website queries, phone queries, SMS queries, and mobile app queries. Website Query: You can search for "vehicle violation query" and enter your vehicle information to check. Phone Query: To inquire about violations, you can call local 114 (area code + 114) or 12580 for confirmation. Violations can only be processed at the location where they occurred or at the vehicle's registration authority. For on-the-spot violations, such as those directly caught by traffic police, they must be handled at the violation site. SMS Query: Open the SMS interface on your phone; enter "WZ" followed by your license plate number and color; send the message to 1062650001. Mobile App Query: Open the "Traffic Management 12123" app, select "Violation Query," and find unresolved violations to clear them.
