What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? CA
I was cited under 22349(b) for going 76mph on 55mph highway. The highway generally was 2 lane undivided but it was 4 lane undivided highway (for several miles not just as passing lanes) where I was cited. I was under impression that the speed limit would be 65mph on such highway where there was no signage posted and I was doing between 65-70. Regardless of that, the radar caught the car at 76 and there was no other cars as far as I could see. So I don't see anything to contest except that I just wanted to check if highway being 4 lane would matter or it must still be designated as 2 lane highway with several (10s) miles of passing lanes. The highway seems to be broaden newly or the road was resurfaced recently. Does the number of lanes matter?
Another question I had is that currently I have to send the bail along with traffic school request. If I contest, I would contest via declaration as the place where I was cited is too far away for me to make a trip. If I lose, would I still have the option of traffic school or it would be for the judge to decide and as a penalty to contest he/she would take that option off?
