Stop Sign Violations (VC 22450)

When a stop sign ticket is worth fighting

A stop sign citation in California can add a point to your driving record, raise your insurance, and incurs court costs in addition to the fine. For commercial drivers, even one "reportable" conviction can threaten a CDL. Many citations are eligible for dismissal — but only where defects on the written citation are properly raised and the court agrees. We do not guarantee any dismissal.

What your citation gets checked for

• Signage & visibility — whether the sign is fully visible and unobstructed at the position where you should stop.
• Officer line of sight — the officer must have a clear, continuous view to make the observation.
• The stopping point — where the stop line or crosswalk actually is vs. where you stopped.
• Code section accuracy — whether VC 22450(a) is correctly applied to the location.
• Conditions at the time — poor light, weather, or construction can all undermine the citation.

How written-declaration defense works

We prepare a written declaration that frames the visibility and observation facts in a structured defense.
