What does a ticket cost?
The cost of traffic tickets is dependant on the nature of the violation and also the location in which the citation was given. Some states, such as Oregon, provide a standard list of ticket costs on the DMV website.
Generally speaking, however, you can expect to pay $50 to $450 for parking tickets, and $100 to $1,100 for speeding tickets. The difference between citation costs is the difference from speeding by 10 mph and 100 or more mph. Similarly, the difference between paying $50 and $450 for a parking violation, is the difference between blocking a disabled space, and using a disabled permit unlawfully.
