New Jersey Traffic Ticket Attorney

Stop Sign Violations

According to N.J.S.A. 39:4-144 "No driver of a vehicle or street car shall enter upon or cross an intersecting street marked with a "stop" sign unless he has first brought his vehicle or street car to a complete stop...." The statute also gives the correct procedure for merging into traffic and how to comply with a "yield right of way" sign.

A violation for passing a stop sign or failing to yield carries a fine of from $50.00 to $200.00. This fine must be doubled if the violation occurred in a construction zone. Two Motor Vehicle Commission (MVC) points and two insurance eligibility points will be assessed. A 15-day jail term may also be imposed. Depending on your driving record, the added points could put your operator's license at risk, and the added insurance eligibility points can increase the your insurance premium. To fully understand the charge and to get the legal advice you need to achieve the best possible outcome, you should speak with a New Jersey lawyer who handles matters of this nature.

Being convicted of traffic charge can have serious consequences both financially and in your ability to possess a driver's license in the future. If you have been charged with speeding, reckless driving, running a red light, or if you have received a traffic ticket for any other offense, consult with a New Jersey traffic ticket lawyer to fully understand the charges and to seek a reduction or dismissal of these charges.
