traffic citation
Moving violation notice
A traffic citation is an official notice issued by law enforcement for violating traffic laws—speeding, running a red light, illegal parking.
The term is formal and administrative; in everyday speech, people say traffic ticket: I got a traffic citation for doing 50 in a school zone.
Citations typically require paying a fine or appearing in court.
