What Neb. Rev. Stat. 60-682.01 says about speeding
Neb. Rev. Stat. 60-682.01(1): “Any person who operates a vehicle in violation of any maximum speed limit established for any highway or freeway is guilty of a traffic infraction.”
Neb. Rev. Stat. 60-682.01(2): “Upon conviction for a violation of this section, a person shall be fined:”
- (a) “Fifty dollars for traveling one to five miles per hour over the authorized speed limit;”
- (b) “Seventy-five dollars for traveling over five miles per hour but not over ten miles per hour over the authorized speed limit;”
- (c) “One hundred twenty-five dollars for traveling over ten miles per hour but not over fifteen miles per hour over the authorized speed limit;”
- (d) “Two hundred dollars for traveling over fifteen miles per hour but not over twenty miles per hour over the authorized speed limit;”
- (e) “Three hundred dollars for traveling over twenty miles per hour but not over thirty-five miles per hour over the authorized speed limit; and”
- (f) “Four hundred dollars for traveling over thirty-five miles per hour over the authorized speed limit.”
Neb. Rev. Stat. 60-682.01(3): “The fines prescribed in subsection (2) of this section shall be doubled if the violation occurs within a maintenance, repair, or construction zone established pursuant to section 60-6,188. For purposes of this subsection, maintenance, repair, or construction zone means (a)(i) the portion of a highway identified by posted or moving signs as being under maintenance, repair, or construction or (ii) the portion of a highway identified by maintenance, repair, or construction zone speed limit signs displayed pursuant to section 60-6,188 and (b) within such portion of a highway where road construction workers are present. The maintenance, repair, or construction zone starts at the location of the first sign identifying the maintenance, repair, or construction zone and continues until a posted or moving sign indicates that the maintenance, repair, or construction zone has ended.”
Neb. Rev. Stat. 60-682.01(4): “The fines prescribed in subsection (2) of this section shall be doubled if the violation occurs within a school crossing zone as defined in section 60-658.01.”
That is the statute’s statement. This page does not say how that statement applies to a particular citation, license, or insurance policy. This page quotes all of section 60-682.01, subsections (1) to (4). It does not quote sections 60-6,188 or 60-658.01. The legislature page lists, at the end of the source line for section 60-682.01: “Laws 2025, LB530, § 26.” This page does not quote LB530, and it does not say on what date that change took effect.
What Neb. Rev. Stat. 60-6,186 lists for speed limits
Neb. Rev. Stat. 60-6,186(1): “Except when a special hazard exists that requires lower speed for compliance with section 60-6,185, the limits set forth in this section and sections 60-6,187, 60-6,188, 60-6,305, and 60-6,313 shall be the maximum lawful speeds unless reduced pursuant to subsection (2) of this section, and no person shall drive a vehicle on a highway at a speed in excess of such maximum limits:”
- (a) “Twenty-five miles per hour in any residential district;”
- (b) “Twenty miles per hour in any business district;”
- (c) “Fifty miles per hour upon any highway that is gravel or not dustless surfaced;”
- (d) “Fifty-five miles per hour upon any dustless-surfaced highway not a part of the state highway system;”
- (e) “Sixty-five miles per hour upon any four-lane divided highway not a part of the state highway system;”
- (f) “Sixty-five miles per hour upon any part of the state highway system other than an expressway, a super-two highway, or a freeway;”
- (g) “Seventy miles per hour upon an expressway or a super-two highway that is part of the state highway system;”
- (h) “Seventy miles per hour upon a freeway that is part of the state highway system but not part of the National System of Interstate and Defense Highways; and”
- (i) “Seventy-five miles per hour upon the National System of Interstate and Defense Highways, except that the maximum speed limit shall be sixty-five miles per hour for:”
- (i) “Any portion of the National System of Interstate and Defense Highways located in Douglas County; and”
- (ii) “That portion of the National System of Interstate and Defense Highways designated as Interstate 180 in Lancaster County and Interstate 129 in Dakota County.”
Neb. Rev. Stat. 60-6,186(2): “The maximum speed limits established in subsection (1) of this section may be reduced by the Department of Transportation or by local authorities pursuant to section 60-6,188, 60-6,190, or 60-6,191.”
That is the statute’s statement. This page does not say how that statement applies to a particular citation, license, or insurance policy. This page quotes all of subsections (1) and (2). Section 60-6,186 has another subsection, (3), on signs, that this page does not cover. This page does not quote sections 60-6,185, 60-6,187, 60-6,188, 60-6,190, 60-6,191, 60-6,305, or 60-6,313. This page does not list the speed limits posted on particular roads, and it does not say which kind of road or district a particular road is.
What Appendix 3 of the Uniform County Court Rules lists for speeding
The Nebraska Judicial Branch policies and schedules page lists “Waiver Fine Schedule (Uniform County Court Rules, Appendix 3)” with the date “July 2026”. Appendix 3, a PDF posted on the Nebraska Judicial Branch website, is headed “Appendix 3” and “WAIVER/FINE SCHEDULE” and prints “Effective Date: July 1, 2026”. It begins: “City ordinance violations which are the equivalent of state statute violations listed on this schedule shall be waiverable and carry the penalty so listed unless the schedule fine exceeds the maximum allowed by city ordinance.” Its columns are headed “State Statute”, “Penalty”, “MOVING TRAFFIC”, and “Fine”, and beneath the first heading it prints “(All Amounts Plus $49, or Plus $95 if Traffic)”. It lists these rows. This page shows each row’s cells as printed.
| State Statute | Penalty | MOVING TRAFFIC | Fine |
|---|---|---|---|
| “60-6,186” | “60-682.01” | “speeding” | |
| “(a) 1-5 mph over authorized limit” | “50.00” | ||
| “(b) over 5 mph but not over 10 mph” | “75.00” | ||
| “(c) over 10 mph but not over 15 mph” | “125.00” | ||
| “(d) over 15 mph but not over 20 mph” | “200.00” | ||
| “(e) over 20 mph but not over 35 mph” | “300.00” | ||
| “(f) over 35 mph over authorized limit” | “400.00” |
Those are the schedule’s statements. Appendix 3 has other rows that this page does not cover, including two rows on speeding in a construction zone and in a school crossing zone. The Nebraska Judicial Branch Traffic Cases page states: “Nebraska Supreme Court Rule § 6-1455 establishes a statewide Waiver/Fine Schedule which sets the fines for many offenses. Local judges may approve waiver amounts for offenses in their courts.”
Those are the court page’s statements. This page does not say what amount a particular county court lists, and it does not say which row applies to a particular notice.
What the Filing Fees and Court Costs page lists for county court traffic cases
The Nebraska Judicial Branch Filing Fees and Court Costs page is headed “Filing Fees and Court Costs” and prints “Effective 07-01-2026”. Under “COUNTY COURTS” and “CRIMINAL AND TRAFFIC”, with columns headed “Category”, “NRS Reference”, “Fee”, and “Total”, it lists these rows for its first category. This page shows each row’s cells as printed.
| Category | NRS Reference | Fee | Total | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| “1.” | “Traffic, misdemeanors and infractions” | “33-124” | “8.00” | |
| “Docket Fee/Judges Retirement Fee” | “33-124” | “12.00” | ||
| “Judges retirement fee” | “24-703” | “6.00” | ||
| “Law enforcement improvement fund” | “81-1429” | “2.00” | ||
| “Legal services fee” | “33-107.01” | “6.25” | ||
| “Automation fee” | “33-107.03” | “8.00” | ||
| “NSC Education fee” | “33-154” | “1.00” | ||
| “Dispute Resolution fee” | “33-155” | “0.75” | ||
| “Indigent Defense fee” | “33-156” | “3.00” | ||
| “Uniform Data Analysis fee” | “47-633” | “1.00” | ||
| “Civil Legal Services Fund” | “25-3010” | “1.00” | ||
| “State Docket Fee” | “33-127” | “36.00” | ||
| “Case Management Systems Fee” | “24-227” | “10.00” | “95.00” |
Those are the court page’s statements. The page lists other categories and other courts that this page does not cover. This page does not add these rows to any row of Appendix 3, and it does not say what amount appears on a particular notice.
What Neb. Rev. Stat. 60-4,182 lists for speeding
Neb. Rev. Stat. 60-4,182: “In order to prevent and eliminate successive traffic violations, there is hereby provided a point system dealing with traffic violations as disclosed by the files of the director. The following point system shall be adopted:”
- (10) “Speeding in violation of any city or village ordinance or any of sections 60-6,185 to 60-6,190 and 60-6,313:”
- (a) “More than five miles per hour but not more than ten miles per hour over the speed limit - 2 points;”
- (b) “More than ten miles per hour but not more than thirty-five miles per hour over the speed limit - 3 points, except that one point shall be assessed upon conviction of exceeding by not more than ten miles per hour, two points shall be assessed upon conviction of exceeding by more than ten miles per hour but not more than fifteen miles per hour, and three points shall be assessed upon conviction of exceeding by more than fifteen miles per hour but not more than thirty-five miles per hour the speed limits provided for in subdivision (1)(f), (g), (h), or (i) of section 60-6,186; and”
- (c) “More than thirty-five miles per hour over the speed limit - 4 points;”
Neb. Rev. Stat. 60-4,182 continues, after its numbered subdivisions: “All such points shall be assessed against the driving record of the operator as of the date of the violation for which conviction was had.”
That is the statute’s statement. This page does not say how that statement applies to a particular citation, license, or insurance policy. Section 60-4,182 has other subdivisions, (1) to (9) and (11) to (17), and other paragraphs, that this page does not cover. This page does not quote sections 60-6,185, 60-6,187, 60-6,188, 60-6,189, 60-6,190, or 60-6,313.
What Neb. Rev. Stat. 60-4,183 says
Neb. Rev. Stat. 60-4,183: “Whenever it comes to the attention of the director that any person has, as disclosed by the records of the director, accumulated a total of twelve or more points within any period of two years, as set out in section 60-4,182, the director shall (1) summarily revoke the operator's license of such person and (2) require such person to attend and successfully complete a driver improvement course consisting of at least four hours of instruction approved by the Department of Motor Vehicles.”
That is the statute’s statement. This page does not say how that statement applies to a particular citation, license, or insurance policy. Section 60-4,183 has three other paragraphs that this page does not cover.
