If a resident or nonresident of a municipality having a Municipal Court is arrested by a law enforcement officer solely for a misdemeanor violation of a traffic ordinance (other than an ordinance pertaining to a parking or standing traffic violation), the arrested person is eligible to sign a written promise to appear and be released upon personal recognizance. A municipality, by ordinance, may prescribe a bail bond schedule for this purpose and may provide for bail to be used as payment of the fine and cost upon a plea of guilty or nolo contendere. In the absence of such ordinance, the Municipal Court may prescribe a bail bond schedule for traffic offenses. The amount of bail shall not exceed the maximum fine provided by ordinance for each offense.
