When the cga.ct.gov page was read on 3 Nov 2026, it showed the same text of section 14-219. The titles page heading is quoted from an Internet Archive copy captured on 24 Sep 2026, retrieved on 3 Nov 2026. The Chart A text and rows below are quoted from Internet Archive copies of the jud.ct.gov Chart A file captured on 13 Oct 2026 and 14 Oct 2026, retrieved on 3 Nov 2026; the two copies are the same file. The jud.ct.gov file could not be read from the system used to prepare this page on 3 Nov 2026, so the Chart A text and amounts on this page come from those archived copies. Chart A rows are quoted as printed, one row at a time; page headers, page numbers, and the sample ticket images printed in Chart A are not quoted. Where Chart A splits a word across two lines with a hyphen, the word is quoted joined. This page does not say that no 2026 act changed section 14-219: the check of 2026 legislative material made for this page was not exhaustive. If a later Supplement or a later act amends section 14-219, the text quoted here may not be current.
What CGS § 14-219 says about speeding
The 2026 Supplement page for chapter 248 begins with this note: “Note: This 2026 Supplement is intended to be used in conjunction with the General Statutes of Connecticut, revised to January 1, 2025.” In the Supplement, section 14-219 is headed “Speeding.”
CGS § 14-219, subsection (a): “(a) No person shall operate any motor vehicle (1) upon any highway, road or any parking area for ten cars or more, at such a rate of speed as to endanger the life of any occupant of such motor vehicle, but not the life of any other person than such an occupant; (2) at a rate of speed greater than fifty-five miles per hour upon any highway other than a highway specified in subdivision (1) of subsection (b) of section 14-218a for which a speed limit has been established in accordance with the provisions of said subdivision; (3) at a rate of speed greater than sixty-five miles per hour upon any highway specified in subdivision (1) of subsection (b) of section 14-218a for which a speed limit has been established in accordance with the provisions of said subdivision; (4) if such person is under eighteen years of age, upon any highway or road for which a speed limit of less than sixty-five miles per hour has been established in accordance with section 14-218a, or section 14-307a, at a rate of speed more than twenty miles per hour above such speed limit; or (5) at a rate of speed greater than the speed limit upon a limited access highway for which a speed limit has been established in accordance with the provisions of subdivision (2) of subsection (b) of section 14-218a.”
CGS § 14-219, subsection (b): “(b) Any person who operates a motor vehicle (1) on a multiple lane, limited access highway other than a highway specified in subdivision (1) of subsection (b) of section 14-218a for which a speed limit has been established in accordance with the provisions of said subdivision at a rate of speed greater than fifty-five miles per hour but not greater than seventy miles per hour, (2) on a multiple lane, limited access highway specified in subdivision (1) of subsection (b) of section 14-218a for which a speed limit has been established in accordance with the provisions of said subdivision at a rate of speed greater than sixty-five miles per hour but not greater than seventy miles per hour, (3) on any other highway at a rate of speed greater than fifty-five miles per hour but not greater than sixty miles per hour, (4) if such person is under eighteen years of age, upon any highway or road for which a speed limit of less than sixty-five miles per hour has been established in accordance with section 14-218a, or section 14-307a, at a rate of speed more than twenty miles per hour above such speed limit, or (5) at a rate of speed greater than the speed limit upon a limited access highway for which a speed limit has been established in accordance with the provisions of subdivision (2) of subsection (b) of section 14-218a shall commit an infraction, provided any such person operating a truck, as defined in section 14-260n, shall have committed a violation and shall be fined not less than one hundred dollars nor more than one hundred fifty dollars.”
CGS § 14-219, subsection (c): “(c) Any person who violates any provision of subdivision (1) of subsection (a) of this section or who operates a motor vehicle (1) on a multiple lane, limited access highway at a rate of speed greater than seventy miles per hour but not greater than eighty-five miles per hour, or (2) on any other highway at a rate of speed greater than sixty miles per hour but not greater than eighty-five miles per hour, shall be fined not less than one hundred dollars nor more than one hundred fifty dollars, provided any such person operating a motor vehicle described in subsection (a) of section 14-163c shall be fined not less than one hundred fifty dollars nor more than two hundred dollars.”
CGS § 14-219, subsection (d): “(d) No person shall be subject to prosecution because of the same offense for a violation of both (1) subsection (a) of this section, and (2) subsection (a) or (b) of section 14-222.”
CGS § 14-219, subsection (e): “(e) Notwithstanding any provision of the general statutes, any person who violates subdivision (1) of subsection (a) of this section, subdivision (1) or (2) of subsection (b) of this section while operating a truck, as defined in section 14-260n, or subdivision (1) of subsection (c) of this section while operating a motor vehicle or a truck, as defined in section 14-260n, shall follow the procedures set forth in section 51-164n.”
The Supplement prints a list of the sources of section 14-219 after subsection (e). The list ends “P.A. 21-28, S. 9; P.A. 22-40, S. 3; P.A. 25-19, S. 10.)”
That is the statute’s statement. This page quotes all of the text of section 14-219, subsections (a) to (e), as printed in the 2026 Supplement. Subsection (b) ends with a proviso for a person operating a truck, as defined in section 14-260n, and subsection (c) ends with a proviso for a person operating a motor vehicle described in subsection (a) of section 14-163c; each proviso is quoted above with the subsection it belongs to. Subsection (e) states that a person who violates the provisions it lists shall follow the procedures set forth in section 51-164n. This page does not quote sections 14-163c, 14-218a, 14-260n, 14-307a, or 51-164n, which section 14-219 names, and it does not quote or describe the other section named in subsection (d). This page does not say what speed limit is posted on any road. This page does not say how that text applies to a particular ticket, license, or driving record.
What Superior Court Chart A says about the Total Amount Due
The cover of Chart A reads “CHART A”, “STATE OF CONNECTICUT”, “SUPERIOR COURT”, and “Mail-In Violations and Infractions Schedule Penalties to be Accepted by the Centralized Infractions Bureau Effective October 1, 2026”, followed by “(Unless otherwise noted)”.
Its preface states: “An infraction is a breach of a state law, regulation or local ordinance designated by the Legislature, for which an appearance in court is usually not required and payment of the amount due by mail or in person is authorized pursuant to C.G.S. § 51-164n. An infraction is neither a crime nor an offense as defined in the penal code. The maximum fine for conviction of an infraction is $90. There is no right to a trial by jury in matters involving infractions.”
The preface also states: “Each “Total Amount Due” figure appearing in this schedule is the sum of the fine and, where applicable, the following additional amounts established by statute:” The list includes these items:
- “(1) C.G.S. § 51-56a(c) requires payment of an additional fee of $1 for each $8 or fraction thereof of the fine for all speeding violations under C.G.S. § 14-219, for all infractions and for certain other motor vehicle violations, except that as to infractions, such additional fee shall be only on the first $88 of the fine for such infraction.”
- “(2) C.G.S. § 54-143(a) requires a $15 cost against any person who pleads nolo contendere (no contest) to, or is convicted of, a speeding violation under C.G.S. § 14-219 or a speeding infraction.”
- “(3) C.G.S. § 54-143a requires a $20 surcharge against any person who pleads nolo contendere to, or is convicted of, certain violations or any infraction, except that such cost shall be $35 for a violation of any section of the general statutes, the violation of which is identified as an infraction and carries a fine of $35 or more.”
- “(4) C.G.S. § 13b-68 establishes the Special Transportation Fund (S.T.F.) and C.G.S. § 13b-70 requires that an additional amount equal to 50% of the amount of the fine against any person who commits a speeding violation under C.G.S. § 14-219 and various other violations and infractions specified in C.G.S. § 13b-59(g). This additional amount is known as the S.T.F. surcharge.”
- “(5) C.G.S. § 14-212a requires payment of an additional fee equivalent to 100% of the fine established or imposed for certain infractions and motor vehicle violations committed while work is ongoing within a designated highway or municipal road construction zone or within a designated utility work zone or while activities are ongoing in a traffic incident management zone or while a uniformed firefighter is directing traffic within a fire station work zone.”
- “(6) C.G.S. § 14-212b requires payment of an additional fee equivalent to 100% of the fine established or imposed for violation of C.G.S. § 14-218a or C.G.S. § 14-219 when such violation is committed within a designated school zone.”
- “(8) C.G.S. § 14-295a requires the payment of an additional $5 assessment for convictions of C.G.S. § 14-219 and for those who plead nolo contendere to a violation of C.G.S. § 14-219 and pay the fine by mail.”
Items (7) and (9) of that list, on failing to grant or yield the right-of-way to a person riding a bicycle and on littering, are not quoted. Item (10) of that list, on an additional fee under C.G.S. § 51-56a(d) for a person who pays a fine for a violation of section 14-219 or of the other sections it lists, is not quoted.
The preface also states: “Note that, according to C.G.S. § 14-296aa(i), an operator of a motor vehicle who commits a moving violation, as defined by C.G.S. § 14-111g(a), while engaged in any distracted driving activity prohibited by C.G.S. § 14-296aa shall be fined in accordance with C.G.S. § 14-296aa(h), in addition to any penalty or fine imposed for the underlying moving violation.”
It also states: “The fines established pursuant to C.G.S. § 51-164m(b) for mail-in speeding violations are incorporated in the “Total Amount Due” figures which are specially printed in the charts in Appendix C and Appendix D.”
On payment, it states: “If a person with one or more infractions or mail-in violations wishes to pay the “Total Amount Due,” payment shall be considered a plea of nolo contendere. Payment of an infraction or mail-in violation will be considered as a finding of guilty for administrative purposes only. Pursuant to C.G.S. § 51-164n, payment by the defendant cannot be used in any civil or criminal action to establish the conduct of the person making the payment, although the defendant may be subject to administrative sanctions by either the Commissioner of Energy and Environmental Protection or the Commissioner of Motor Vehicles.”
On points, it states: “If a person alleged to have committed a motor vehicle infraction or violation which is payable through the Centralized Infractions Bureau elects to send payment of the fine and any additional costs (total amount due) to the Centralized Infractions Bureau, no points shall be assessed by the Commissioner of Motor Vehicles against that person’s operator’s license for such infraction or violation except that the Commissioner shall assess not less than one point for any violation of section 14-296aa of the General Statutes for the improper use of a mobile electronic device by a motor vehicle operator, school bus driver, or commercial vehicle operator.”
It also states: “Even though an infraction or mail-in violation will not cause automatic suspension of a driver’s license or registration, it may be recorded on the motorist’s motor vehicle history.”
It also states: “If a minor wishes to pay for an infraction or for a mail-in violation, the complaint must be signed by a parent or guardian.”
On a plea of not guilty, it states: “If a person who is issued a Complaint Ticket pleads not guilty by mail, that person must sign the not guilty plea which appears on the back of the complaint and mail it to the Centralized Infractions Bureau in the envelope provided for such a purpose. Pleas of not guilty may also be entered online. Please refer to https://jud.ct.gov/faq/traffic.html for more information. A plea of not guilty will be transferred by the Centralized Infractions Bureau to a docket for prosecutor review. If a trial is required, the Centralized Infraction Bureau will transfer the case to the Geographical Area court location covering the area where the infraction or mail-in violation was committed or schedule a remote hearing. The court or Centralized Infraction Bureau will notify the person of the date for trial. During the trial, all court formalities, including rules of evidence and procedure, will apply.”
On not responding, it states: “A defendant who fails to submit a payment or file a not guilty plea at the Centralized Infractions Bureau faces additional criminal and administrative sanctions. Any or all of the possible sanctions may be imposed against a defendant who does not respond.”
- “In all infractions matters, the defendant’s failure to act constitutes the misdemeanor of Failure to Pay or Plead to an Infraction, in violation of C.G.S. § 51-164r(a). A defendant can be arrested and required to appear in court, where that person may face a maximum penalty of imprisonment of not more than 10 days in addition to the penalties imposed pursuant to the original infractions matter.”
- “In all matters concerning the violations specified in C.G.S. § 51-164n, the defendant’s failure to act forms the misdemeanor of Failure to Pay or Plead to a Violation, in violation of C.G.S. § 51-164r(b). A defendant who fails to pay or plead to such a violation can be arrested and required to appear in court, where that person may face a maximum penalty of imprisonment of not more than 10 days in addition to the penalties for the original violations matter.”
- “If a case involves a motor vehicle infraction or violation, a defendant’s failure to respond can also lead to a report by the court to the Department of Motor Vehicles under C.G.S. § 14-140, which may result in the suspension of the defendant’s license. If the court orders action under C.G.S. § 14-140, the defendant will be required to pay a fee to the clerk to open the case. If the defendant’s license is in fact suspended by the Department of Motor Vehicles, that person will also be required to pay a fee directly to that department to get their license back, as required pursuant to C.G.S. § 14-50b(a).”
Those are Chart A’s statements, quoted as printed. Chart A states that payment shall be considered a plea of nolo contendere, and it states when points shall not be assessed and when they shall be; this page quotes those statements and does not say whether to pay, to plead, or to take any other step. Appendix B of Chart A, quoted below in the section on speeds that are not in its mail-in tables, lists operations for which Chart A says to use a Misdemeanor/M.V. Summons Ticket, including under 14-219(b)(3) for a truck and under 14-219(c)(2); this page does not say whether the statements on payment and points quoted above apply to a ticket of that kind. This page does not say whether points are assessed for a particular ticket. The preface also covers boating matters and where payments and pleas are sent, which this page does not quote.
What Chart A lists for section 14-219 in its numerical list
In its numerical list of infractions and violations, Chart A lists these rows for section 14-219, among others. Each row is quoted with its code and label as printed:
- “14-219(a)(1) Driving to endanger; motor vehicles other than trucks (Also, see Appx C)”
- “14-219(a)(1)* Driving to endanger; for all trucks as defined by 14-260n (Also see, Appx D)”
- “14-219(b) Speeding infraction; motor vehicles other than trucks See Appx B”
- “14-219(b)(1)* Speeding violation; trucks; limited access highway under 14-218a; 56-70 mph See Appx D”
- “14-219(b)(2) Speeding violation; trucks; limited access highway other than 14-218a; 66-70 mph See Appx D”
- “14-219(b)4 Speeding infraction; motor vehicles other than trucks; person under 18 years old; more than 20 mph above speed limit of less than 65 mph See Appx B”
- “14-219(b(5 Speeding infraction on limited access hwy. during weather event or emergency; motor vehicle other than trucks See Appx B”
- “14-219(b(5* Speeding violation; trucks; limited access highway during weather event See Appx D”
- “14-219(c)(1) Speeding violation; motor vehicles other than motor carriers; greater than 70 mph See Appx C”
- “14-219(c)(1)* Speeding violation; motor carriers; limited access highway; greater than 70 mph See Appx D”
On the two 14-219(a)(1) rows, the numerical list also prints amounts; this page quotes the amounts for those rows from Appendices C and D below, where each column is labelled. For each code above, the numerical list also has rows with Z, SZ, or SZZ added to the code, for a violation in a construction, utility, traffic or fire station work zone, in a school zone, or in both. For 14-219(b), they read:
- “14-219(b)Z Violation of 14-219(b) in construction, utility, traffic or fire station work zone (specify zone) See Appx B”
- “14-219(b)SZ Violation of 14-219(b) in a school zone See Appx B”
- “14-219(b)SZZ Violation of 14-219(b) in a school and construction, utility, traffic or fire station work zone (specify zone) See Appx B”
Those are Chart A’s rows, quoted as printed. The codes and labels are the court’s; the words of section 14-219 are quoted above. Chart A labels the 14-219(a)(1) rows “Driving to endanger”, and it labels the 14-219(b(5 rows with the words “during weather event or emergency”; this page quotes those labels as printed and does not say how they relate to the words of section 14-219. This page does not say which row applies to a particular ticket.
What Chart A Appendix B and Appendix B-1 list for 14-219(b) speeding infractions
Appendix B of Chart A is headed “14-219(b) SPEEDING INFRACTIONS” and “14-219(b)4 SPEEDING INFRACTION-DRIVER UNDER 18”. It states:
- “1. 14-219(b) Speeding Infraction: (For All Motor Vehicles Other Than Trucks.)”
- “56 Thru 70 - Multiple Lane, Limited Access Highway”
- “56 Thru 60 - All Other Highways”
- “*Effective Oct. 1, 2022: Includes 14-219 (b) (5), speeding on limited access highway during weather event or emergency (notice on electronic sign)”
It also states: “All Connecticut residents and residents of no-bail compact states1 pay the total amount due in accordance with the table below. For all other nonresidents the amount of any cash bond or guaranteed bail bond certificate should also be in accordance with the table below.” In that text, “states1” is printed with a footnote marker. The footnote lists: “AL, AR, AZ, CO, DE, DC, FL, GA, HI, ID, IL, IN, IA, KS, KY, LA, ME, MD, MA, MN, MS, MO, NE, NV, NH, NJ, NM, NY, NC, ND, OH, OK, PA, RI, SC, SD, TN, TX, UT, VT, WA, WV, WY”
On zones, it states: “(Cite as 14-219(b)Z if committed in a construction, utility, traffic or fire station zone. Cite as 14-219(b)SZ if committed in a school zone. Cite as 14-219(b)SZZ if committed in a school zone and a construction, utility, traffic or fire station zone. Use appropriate Total Amount Due from table and specify zone.)”
For drivers under 18, it states “2. 14-219(b)4 Speeding Infraction-Driver Under 18: (For All Motor Vehicles Other Than Trucks.)” and: “This infraction should be charged only if the driver is under 18 years old and is traveling at a speed that is more than 20 mph over the speed limit of less than 65 mph. For drivers under 18 whose speed is not more than 20 mph over such limit or if the driver is 18 years old or older, continue to charge 14-219(b) (see no. 1 above).”
On zones for that infraction, it states: “(Cite as 14-219(b)4Z if committed in a construction, utility, traffic or fire station zone. Cite as 14-219(b)4SZ if committed in a school zone. Cite as 14-219(b)4SZZ if committed in a school zone and a construction, utility, traffic or fire station zone. Use appropriate Total Amount Due from table below and specify zone.)”
Appendix B also prints a table of Total Amount Due figures by miles per hour over the posted limit. This page quotes the rows of the Appendix B-1 table, which also lists the fine and each additional amount. Appendix B-1 lists, for “14-219(b)(1)-(3), (5)”, “SPEEDING INFRACTION (For all motor vehicles other than trucks.)”, on “56 THRU 70 – MULTIPLE LANE, LIMITED ACCESS HIGHWAY” and “56 THRU 60 – ALL OTHER HIGHWAYS”, these rows, under columns headed, in order, “M.P.H. Over Posted Limit”, “TOTAL AMOUNT DUE”, “T.A.D. Z or SZ”, “T.A.D. SZZ”, “FINE”, “FEE”, “Z FEE”, “SZZ FEE”, “COST”, “SURCHARGE”, “S.T.F.”, “BIPSA”, “M FEE”:
- “1-9 $162.00 $212.00 $262.00 $50.00 $7.00 $50.00 $100.00 $15.00 $35.00 $25.00 $5.00 $25.00”

- “20 216.00 299.00 382.00 83.00 11.00 83.00 166.00 15.00 35.00 42.00 5.00 25.00”
- “21 220.00 306.00 392.00 86.00 11.00 86.00 172.00 15.00 35.00 43.00 5.00 25.00”
- “22 & 226.00 316.00 406.00 90.00 11.00 90.00 180.00 15.00 35.00 45.00 5.00 25.00”
In the last row, the speed cell is printed as “22 &” on one line and “over” on the next. The same table labels its zone rows “14-219(b)Z (See Total Amount Due Z or SZ)”, “14-219(b)SZ (See Total Amount Due Z or SZ)” and “14-219(b)SZZ (See Total Amount Due SZZ)”. A second Appendix B-1 table, for “14-219(b)4”, under the same column headings, lists these rows:
- “21 220.00 306.00 392.00 86.00 11.00 86.00 172.00 15.00 35.00 43.00 5.00 25.00”
- “22 & 226.00 316.00 406.00 90.00 11.00 90.00 180.00 15.00 35.00 45.00 5.00 25.00”
Those are the schedule’s rows, quoted as printed. In each row, the figure under “TOTAL AMOUNT DUE” is the Total Amount Due and the figure under “FINE” is the fine; they are different figures. Chart A’s preface, quoted above, states how each Total Amount Due figure is made up. This page does not add any amount to another, does not work out an amount for any speed, and does not total any amount.

What Chart A Appendix C lists for mail-in speeding violations
Appendix C of Chart A is headed “MAIL-IN SPEEDING VIOLATIONS (NON-INFRACTIONS)” and “OTHER MOTOR VEHICLES (NOT MOTOR CARRIERS OR TRUCKS)”. It states: “All Connecticut residents and residents of no-bail compact states pay the Total Amount Due below. For all other non-residents the amount of any cash bond or guaranteed bail bond certificate should also be in accordance with the appropriate table below.”
Under the heading “14-219(c)(1) SPEEDING VIOLATION ON MULTIPLE LANE, LIMITED ACCESS HIGHWAY”, it lists these rows, under columns headed, in order, for actual speed in miles per hour, total amount due, and total amount due Z, and then “FINE”, “FEE”, “Z FEE”, “COST”, “SURCHARGE”, “STF”, “SZZ FEE”, “BIPSA”, “M FEE”:
- “71 to 75 228.00 328.00 100.00 13.00 100.00 15.00 20.00 50.00 200.00 5.00 25.00”
- “76 to 80 269.00 394.00 125.00 16.00 125.00 15.00 20.00 63.00 250.00 5.00 25.00”
- “81 to 85 309.00 459.00 150.00 19.00 150.00 15.00 20.00 75.00 300.00 5.00 25.00”
Beside that table, Chart A prints a note on citing a violation in a construction, utility, traffic or fire station zone, which begins “(Cite as 14-219(c(1Z”; because of the way that note is printed beside the table, this page does not quote it as one passage. Below the table, it states: “NOTE: If speeding on a multiple lane, limited access highway pursuant to C.G.S. 14-219(c)(1) in a school zone, cite as 14-219(c(1SZ. Use TotalAmount Due Z from table. If committed in a school zone and a construction, utility, traffic or fire station zone, cite as 14-219(c(1SZZ. To calculate Total Amount Due in SZZ, add T.A.D.Z to difference between T.A.D. and T.A.D.Z.”
Under the heading “14-219(a)(1) DRIVING SO AS TO ENDANGER OCCUPANT OF MOTOR VEHICLE OTHER THAN TRUCK—ANY HIGHWAY”, it lists this row, under columns headed, in order, for total amount due, total amount due Z or SZ, and total amount due SZZ, and then “FINE”, “FEE”, “Z FEE”, “COST”, “SURCHARGE”, “STF”, “SZZ FEE”, “BIPSA”, “M FEE”:
- “228.00 328.00 428.00 100.00 13.00 100.00 15.00 20.00 50.00 200.00 5.00 25.00”
Those are the schedule’s rows, quoted as printed. In each row, the first figure after the speed (or, in the 14-219(a)(1) row, the first figure) is the Total Amount Due, and the figure under “FINE” is the fine; they are different figures. The note below the table, quoted above, is Chart A’s statement on school zones; this page does not work out any amount from it. This page does not add any amount to another, does not work out an amount for any speed, and does not total any amount. This page does not say which row, or what amount, applies to a particular ticket. Read any amount printed on your ticket.
What Chart A says about speeds that are not in its mail-in tables
Appendix B of Chart A states: “NOTE: Use Misdemeanor/M.V. Summons Ticket for operating:” The note lists these items, among others:
- “(1) a truck on a highway other than a multiple lane, limited access highway at a speed greater than 55 m.p.h. but not greater than 60 m.p.h. pursuant to C.G.S. 14-219(b)(3);”
- “(2) a motor carrier on a highway other than a multiple lane, limited access highway at a speed greater than 60 m.p.h. but not greater than 85 m.p.h. pursuant to C.G.S. 14-219(c)(2)*;”
- “(3) other than a motor carrier on a highway other than a multiple lane, limited access highway at a speed greater than 60 m.p.h. but not greater than 85 m.p.h. pursuant to C.G.S. 14-219(c)(2);”
The note lists a fourth item, on a different section, which this page does not quote. The note ends: “This note applies also to these provisions committed in construction, utility, traffic, fire station or school zones.” Those are Chart A’s statements, quoted as printed. For 14-219(b)(3), when the person is operating a truck, and for 14-219(c)(2), this page quotes no Chart A amount. Section 14-219, quoted above, states a fine range in subsection (b), for a person operating a truck, and in subsection (c); each is quoted above whole, with its proviso. This page does not say which kind of ticket is issued in a particular case.
What Chart A Appendix D lists for trucks and motor carriers
Appendix D of Chart A is headed “TRUCKS AND MOTOR CARRIERS”. It states: “All Connecticut residents and residents of no-bail compact states pay the Total Amount Due below. For all other non-residents the amount of any cash bond or guaranteed bail bond certificate should also be in accordance with the appropriate table below.”
Under a heading printed on two lines, “14-219(b)(1)* SPEEDING VIOLATION ON MULTIPLE LANE, LIMITED” and “14-219(b)(2) ACCESS HIGHWAY (TRUCKS)”, it states: “Effective October 1, 2022: Includes 14-219 (b) (5) speeding violation; trucks, on limited access hwy. during weather event or emergency”
It also states: “(Cite as 14-219 as in example below or as 14-219Z if committed in a construction, utility, traffic or fire station zone. Cite as 14-219SZ if committed in a school zone. If committed in a school zone and a construction, utility, traffic or fire station zone, cite as 14-219SZZ. Use appropriate Total Amount Due from table and specify zone.)”
It lists these rows, under columns headed, in order, for actual speed in miles per hour, total amount due, total amount due Z or SZ, and total amount due SZZ, and then “FINE”, “FEE”, “Z FEE”, “COST”, a surcharge column, and “STF”, “SZZ FEE”, “BIPSA”, “M FEE”:
- “56 to 60 228.00 328.00 428.00 100.00 13.00 100.00 15.00 20.00 50.00 200.00 5.00 25.00”
- “61 to 65 260.00 380.00 500.00 120.00 15.00 120.00 15.00 20.00 60.00 240.00 5.00 25.00”
- “66 to 70 293.00 433.00 573.00 140.00 18.00 140.00 15.00 20.00 70.00 280.00 5.00 25.00”
Under the heading “14-219(c)(1)* SPEEDING VIOLATION ON MULTIPLE LANE, LIMITED ACCESS HIGHWAY (MOTOR CARRIERS)”, it states the same citing note as above and lists these rows, under the same columns:
- “71 to 75 325.00 485.00 645.00 160.00 20.00 160.00 15.00 20.00 80.00 320.00 5.00 25.00”
- “76 to 80 358.00 538.00 718.00 180.00 23.00 180.00 15.00 20.00 90.00 360.00 5.00 25.00”
- “81 to 85 390.00 590.00 790.00 200.00 25.00 200.00 15.00 20.00 100.00 400.00 5.00 25.00”
Under the heading “14-219(a)(1)* DRIVING TO ENDANGER OCCUPANT - ANY HIGHWAY”, it lists this row, under the same columns, with “Trucks” in place of a speed:
- “Trucks 309.00 459.00 609.00 150.00 19.00 150.00 15.00 20.00 75.00 300.00 5.00 25.00”
Those are the schedule’s rows, quoted as printed. In each row, the first figure after the speed (or after “Trucks”) is the Total Amount Due, and the figure under “FINE” is the fine; they are different figures. Chart A’s headings for these rows include the words “weather event or emergency” and “DRIVING TO ENDANGER OCCUPANT”; this page quotes those headings as printed and does not say how they relate to the words of section 14-219. This page does not say whether a particular vehicle is a truck or a motor carrier. This page does not add any amount to another, does not work out an amount for any speed, and does not total any amount. This page does not say which row, or what amount, applies to a particular ticket. Read any amount printed on your ticket.
Points
Chart A’s statement on points is quoted above. This page does not state any number of points for any violation, and does not say whether points are assessed for a particular ticket, license, or driving record.
Paths the ticket describes (not which to choose)
