traffic courts

Traffic courts (also known as municipal courts) are generally courts that are dedicated to prosecuting and resolving tickets or citations for traffic, parking, driver’s license, liability insurance, defective equipment (headlights, brake lights, turning lights, etc.), and license plate violations. These are usually lower level misdemeanor offenses (as opposed to felony offenses).

In North Dakota, traffic courts, which may also be referred to as municipal courts, handle a variety of cases related to traffic violations. These courts are responsible for adjudicating infractions such as speeding, running a red light, parking violations, driver's license issues, liability insurance requirements, and equipment violations like malfunctioning headlights or brake lights. The offenses dealt with in traffic courts are typically classified as misdemeanors, which are less serious than felony offenses. Penalties for these violations can include fines, points on a driver's license, and sometimes driver's education courses or community service. More serious traffic offenses, such as DUIs or reckless driving, may carry heavier penalties and could be elevated to higher courts. It's important to note that the specific procedures and penalties can vary by jurisdiction within the state, and an attorney can provide guidance on the legal process and potential outcomes for traffic court cases in North Dakota.
