Whether you’re just driving through your neighborhood, through the town center, or around a school or shopping plaza, stop signs are everywhere to not only control the flow of traffic, but also protect pedestrians. By law, a vehicle is supposed to come to a full and complete stop before, or parallel with, the stop sign. A “rolling stop”, which is what most of our clients who come to us with a stop sign ticket have been written up for, occurs when a car slows, but does not stop, as it passes a stop sign. Not only can this be incredibly dangerous for the driver and passengers, but also for pedestrians who may be crossing the street at the stop sign. No matter how clear the intersection looks, or how much of a hurry you may be in, when you see a stop sign, you’re legally required to…you guessed it…STOP!
In most cases where a stop sign ticket is issued to a driver in Miami-Dade, Palm Beach, or Broward county, the driver can either pay the fine and accept the 3 points on their license, or fight the ticket in hopes that it is overturned or dismissed. Fines for a stop sign ticket in the South Florida counties we serve range from $260-270, but those fines can quickly rise if the stop sign ticket is paired with another moving violation or traffic ticket. Our team of expert traffic ticket lawyers has helped clients navigate municipal and county courts to successfully fight spot sign tickets, and is prepared to help you win your case too. We’ll work with you to determine if variables, such as a faded limit line or an obstructed stop sign, may have factored into your violation and use them to craft the best defense possible.
