(A) Pursuant to I.C. 9-21-1-3, the Town may enforce certain traffic violations as local ordinance violations. The Traffic Code of the Town provides for specific infractions and other violations which may be in addition to, or separate from the Traffic Code set forth in I.C. Title 9.
(B) In order to provide for the efficient citation for these violations by the police officers, a traffic citation issued by any such officer may be enforced by the Town as an ordinance violation under this chapter if the officer provides on the Uniform Citation Form the corresponding general traffic code violation and otherwise indicates a Town ordinance violation enforcement. For example, a citation for speeding shall be enforceable under this chapter if the citation provides that the offense of speeding has occurred, giving the actual and posted speeds and the location of the violation. A citation is valid and enforceable under this chapter without a citation to the specific section of this code.
(C) The fines and costs for such violations as established by the Town Court from time to time in accordance with § 71.99 shall be assessed for any citation which is issued pursuant to this chapter.
