Any police officer may issue a citation instead of making an arrest for any violation of the state traffic laws or traffic code of this city where the offense is a misdemeanor committed in his presence and there are reasonable grounds to believe that the person cited will appear to answer the charge. The arresting officer shall take the name, address, and operator's license number of the alleged violator in writing on a form provided by the city. The citation shall provide that the defendant shall appear to answer to the charge against him at a place and at a time designated therein.
