How to Report Illegally Parked Vehicles?
2 Answers
If you find a car parked illegally on the road, you can take photos with your mobile phone as evidence. Full-view photos of the rear of the car, full-view photos of the front of the car, and full-view photos of the side of the car. Three or more photos that can prove illegal parking. Send the photos to the public platform of the Traffic Management Brigade of Xuchang Public Security Bureau. The time of reporting should not exceed 72 hours from the time the violation occurred.
As an experienced city dweller, I frequently deal with illegal parking issues. The reporting steps are straightforward: first ensure personal safety and avoid arguing with drivers. Use your phone to take clear photos, including the license plate number, specific location details like house numbers or intersection markers, and the time; videos work too but photos are more convenient. Then choose a reporting platform; most Chinese cities allow using the 12123 traffic service app to upload evidence and fill out a simple form describing the situation, or search for local traffic service mini-programs on WeChat. Calling 122 is also direct, as operators will guide you through the process. Personally, I find police responsive after reporting; I once reported a car blocking a fire lane near a school, which was resolved the next day, preventing a potential accident. This habit stems from a sense of community responsibility—maintaining public order is everyone's duty, but don't overlook personal safety. Now with app upgrades, the reporting process takes under two minutes, significantly improving quality of life.
