(A) Unless a traffic violator is forthwith personally taken into custody for court prosecution, or unless prosecution by court complaint is to be forthwith instituted against such traffic violator, a traffic violation notice shall be issued by a police officer for every vehicle parked, stopped, permitted to stand, equipped, used, driven, or operated in violation of this chapter, and for every pedestrian who violates the provision of this chapter. Any such notice for a pedestrian’s violation shall be delivered to the pedestrian.
