STOP SIGN TICKET
The stop sign tickets are generally issued by a traffic officer
who is hiding near the intersection with stop sign control.
The intersection could be a T-intersection or a regular four
legged intersection. The evidence for a stop sign ticket is
based on the officer’s observation of the violation and
California Vehicle Code Section 22450.
The standard requirements for the installation of stop signs
at intersections must be followed to prevent unsafe
situations for drivers and pedestrians. If the stop sign is not
properly installed per design standards, then it is likely that
drivers may enter the intersection without properly
stopping at the limit line. This is where detailed knowledge
of stop sign installation guidelines could be vital in beating
a stop sign citation in a trial by written declaration.
For your convenience, we have created an easy sign-up
process that would take you less than 10 minutes to
complete and we will take it from there. The total cost of
our service is $189 Flat Fee. There are no hidden charges
or add ons what so ever. To sign up for our service:
