If there is no news about running a red light in 3 days, does it mean everything is fine?

If there are cameras, you will be captured, and the illegal photo notification message usually arrives 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 a text message notification within 5-10 minutes after being captured. But a notification does not mean a violation; it is only a capture alert. Whether it is a violation will be determined within 3-7 days. If it is indeed a violation, you will receive another text message notification. For traffic violations captured by surveillance cameras, vehicle owners generally do not receive the violation message immediately. There will be 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 handed over to the relevant traffic police staff for verification. Once confirmed as a violation, the system will automatically query the corresponding vehicle owner's phone number based on the license plate information. Only then will the violation details be sent to the owner via text message. After receiving the violation message, the vehicle owner must go to the traffic police department where the violation occurred 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 message 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 regulations through online or terminal methods. Methods include website queries, phone queries, text message queries, mobile app queries, and offline terminal queries. Website Query: You can search for "vehicle violation query" and enter vehicle information to check. Phone Query: You can call the local 114 (area code + 114) or 12580 to confirm traffic violations. Violations can only be handled at the location of the violation or the vehicle's license plate issuance location. For on-the-spot violations, such as those caught directly by traffic police, they must be handled at the violation location. Text Message Query: Open the text message interface on your phone; enter "WZ [license plate number] [license plate color]" in the message content; send it to 1062650001. Mobile App Query: Open the "Traffic Management 12123" app, select "Violation Query," and find unresolved violations to clear them. Offline Terminal Query: You can go to the local traffic management hall and use the self-service query machine to enter the license plate number and check recent violation records.
