Court and charging identity
A Pueblo citation may name Pueblo Municipal Court, Pueblo Combined Court, or another court. Municipal Court addresses alleged City ordinance violations, while Pueblo Combined Court is part of the Colorado Judicial Branch and serves Pueblo County.
The alleged statute or ordinance, posted limit, alleged speed, location, issuing agency, and court designation identify different parts of the allegation. A citation is not itself a reported conviction.
Speed ranges, classifications, and points
Colorado’s statewide statute generally distinguishes allegations of one to twenty-four miles per hour over from allegations of twenty-five or more over and contains additional treatment for certain designated work zones.
Colorado’s point schedule assigns values according to the final reported conviction and speed range. Age-based point-suspension thresholds and the existing record are separate DMV subjects.
Commercial-license classification
Federal regulations classify certain speeding convictions of fifteen miles per hour or more above the regulated or posted limit as serious traffic violations. The applicable federal category depends on the final conviction, vehicle, dates, and prior qualifying events.
