How Many Days to Receive SMS After Running a Red Light?
1 Answers
After running a red light, the violation notification SMS 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 constitutes a violation takes 3-7 days. If it is indeed a violation, you will receive another SMS notification. For traffic violations captured by surveillance cameras, vehicle owners generally do not receive an SMS notification immediately. There is a delay, and the duration may vary. After the electronic camera captures the violation, the relevant violation information needs to be transmitted through a dedicated channel to the traffic police management center, where it is compiled and then verified by relevant staff. 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 SMS, the vehicle owner must go to the traffic police department at the location of the violation within one month before the annual vehicle inspection to handle the matter. Generally, if a vehicle owner suspects a violation, they can use 15 days as a benchmark. If no violation SMS is received beyond 15 days, it is likely that no violation was recorded. Traffic Violation Query Methods: Traffic violation queries refer to checking motor vehicle violations of traffic management through online platforms or query terminals. Methods include website queries, phone queries, SMS queries, and mobile app queries. Website Query: Search for "vehicle violation query" and enter 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 office. For on-site violations, such as those caught by traffic police, they must be handled at the violation location. SMS Query: Open the SMS interface on your phone, enter "WZ [license plate number] [license plate color]," and send it to 1062650001. Mobile App Query: Open the "Traffic Management 12123" app, select "Violation Query," and clear any unresolved violations.
