If a resident or nonresident of a municipality served by a municipal court is arrested by a law enforcement officer solely for a misdemeanor violation of a traffic ordinance, other than an ordinance pertaining to a parking or standing traffic violation, and the arrested person is eligible to sign a written promise to appear and be released upon personal recognizance as provided for in Section 1115.1 of Title 22 of the Oklahoma Statutes, then the procedures provided for in the State and Municipal Traffic Bail Bond Procedure Act as applied to municipalities, shall govern. A municipality, by ordinance, may prescribe a bail bond schedule for this purpose and may provide for bail to be used as payment of the fine and costs upon a plea of guilty or nolo contendere, as provided for in Section 2 of this act. Absent such ordinance, the municipal court may prescribe a bail bond schedule for traffic offenses. The amount of bail shall not exceed the maximum fine and costs provided by ordinance for each offense.
