Traffic Courts

Traffic courts are specialized branches of the legal system that handle cases involving violations of traffic laws, such as speeding, running red lights, or driving without a valid license. They aim to assess these infractions and determine appropriate penalties, which can include fines, points on a driving record, or even mandatory driving courses. Typically, these courts focus on efficiency to manage a high volume of cases. While they handle minor offenses, more serious traffic-related issues, like DUI cases or accidents resulting in injury, may be addressed in criminal courts.
