Traffic violations are not considered crimes even though some carry substantial penalties and even imprisonment. Never the less, persons accused of traffic violations do have many of the rights accorded to persons accused of crimes.

What are the statute of limitations on traffic citations in Mississippi?

There really is none as a traffic ticket does not expire and is not subject to a statute of limitations. The statute of limitations is to prevent one from being accused of a crime when the witnesses may no longer be available and defense difficult. In this case, you have already been notified of the violation and have not defended against it in the time allotted. A traffic ticket is a notice of violation. Some jurisdictions will stop trying to collect, or declare on amnesty on tickets on a specific time frame.
