How to Check Your Vehicle's 'Four Days On, Four Days Off' Status?
2 Answers
The Traffic Safety Service Platform provides nationwide motor vehicle violation query services. Registration is required before use. After registration, you can obtain information on your motor vehicle and driver's license status, traffic violation information, traffic safety notification information, as well as self-service business processing services.
To check your vehicle's status under the 'Four Days On, Four Days Off' policy, I usually use a mobile app like 'Traffic Management 12123', which is very convenient. After downloading and registering an account, you can bind your license plate number. Simply open the app daily to see whether you can drive that day, with real-time updates to minimize errors. This policy is mainly aimed at alleviating traffic congestion. For example, when I lived in Shenzhen, I started complying with it. The query process is simple: just enter the last digits of your license plate, and the system automatically calculates the cycle to tell you whether to drive or stop. Occasionally forgetting to check can result in a fine of over a hundred yuan, so I recommend setting an alarm or checking app notifications frequently. Once you get used to it, it’s quite hassle-free—just spend half a minute confirming before driving to avoid trouble. Nowadays, many city apps can even integrate maps to help you avoid restricted zones, improving your travel experience. I usually recommend this method to friends—it’s practical and reliable.
