Speeding can be filed as a city ordinance violation.

• A. True
• B. Depends on the county
• C. False
• D. Only if speed limit is under 25

Answer: (C)

Speeding is typically addressed through traffic laws, not as a blanket city ordinance offense. Municipalities can regulate speed on their streets, but they usually do so by enforcing the state’s traffic statutes or by adopting local traffic ordinances that implement those standards. The default understanding in most clerk exams is that speeding violations come from traffic laws, not simply from a generic city ordinance category. An exception exists only if a jurisdiction has a specific local speeding ordinance; otherwise, the common rule is that speeding is a traffic violation under state law.
