How many days to receive the message after running a red light?
1 Answers
After running a red light, the illegal photo notification SMS is usually received within 3 to 7 days, and at the latest within about 13 days. If no message is received after 15 days, it means there is no issue. 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 traffic violation; it is merely 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 immediate violation SMS. There is a delay, and the duration may vary. After the electronic camera captures a 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 the relevant traffic police department staff. Once confirmed as a violation, the system automatically retrieves the vehicle owner's phone number based on the license plate information. Only then is the violation sent to the owner via SMS. After receiving the violation SMS, the vehicle owner must settle the violation within one month before the annual vehicle inspection. Generally, if a vehicle owner suspects a violation, they can use 15 days as a benchmark. If no violation SMS is received after 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 or terminal methods. Methods include website queries, phone queries, SMS queries, mobile app queries, and offline terminal 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 license plate issuance location. For on-the-spot violations, such as those directly caught by traffic police, they must be processed 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 check for unprocessed violations. Offline terminal query: Visit the local traffic management hall and use the self-service query machine to enter the license plate number and check recent violation records.
