Traffic Safety Class (Traffic School)

If you have been cited for a non-mandatory violation and there was not an accident involved, and you would like to attend traffic school to prevent points from being added to your driving record, you must appear at the SSL Justice Court (clerk's window) to determine if you qualify.

Upon completing a traffic safety class, you must send the certificate of completion to the Justice Court located at: 

220 E Morris Avenue
South Salt Lake, UT 84115
 

Qualifying

To qualify for traffic school you must:

• Not have any other citations on your record within the last year
• Not have a CDL

If you qualify for traffic school, you will be required to pay:

• The regular fine amount
• A $25 plea in abeyance fee
• A $50 traffic school fee

If you have a driver license from a state other than Utah, you will need to provide a driving record from your home state that covers at least the last year.

Location

If you live in Salt Lake County you will attend the traffic safety class in-person at the South Salt Lake Justice Court (220 East Morris Ave, South Salt Lake, UT 84115). If you live outside of the county or have a language barrier, you may be given permission to take an online class instead.

Schedule

The traffic safety class takes place the third Saturday of every month. The traffic safety class begins promptly at 10:30 AM.  No one will be admitted after that time.  You should arrive no later that 10:15 AM to ensure your seat.

Additional Instructions

Upon completing traffic school, you must email the certificate of completion to the Justice Court or by mailing the certificate to:

220 E Morris Avenue
South Salt Lake, UT 84115

The Court may grant you the ability to do traffic school through the Utah Safety Council.
