Why is there no traffic violation record found online three days after running a red light?
1 Answers
After running a red light, the notification message for illegal photo capture 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 traffic 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 violations captured by surveillance cameras, vehicle owners generally do not receive violation messages immediately. There is a delay, and the duration varies. After an 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 personnel. 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 where the violation occurred within one month before the annual vehicle inspection to address the violation. 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 platforms or query terminals. Methods include website queries, phone queries, SMS queries, and mobile app queries. Website query: You can search for "vehicle violation query" and input your vehicle information to check. Phone query: You can call local 114 (area code + 114) or 12580 to confirm traffic violations. Violations can only be processed at the location where they occurred or at the vehicle's license plate issuance location. For on-the-spot violations, such as those caught directly by a traffic officer, they must be handled at the violation location. SMS query: Open your phone's SMS interface, enter "WZ" followed by your license plate number and color, and send it to 1062650001. Mobile app query: Open the "Traffic Management 12123" app, select "violation query," and address any unresolved violations.
