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. A traffic ticket is a notice of violation. In this case, you have already been notified of the violation and have not defended against it in the time allotted. As such, a traffic ticket does not expire and is not subject to a statute of limitations. Some jurisdictions will stop trying to collect, or declare on amnesty on tickets on a specific time frame.

∙ 16y agoNo, once a ticket has been issued, you have received official notice of the 'crime.' That eliminates the purpose of a statute of limitations. In most cases, if you failed to appear in court, and haven't paid the fine, the court has found you guilty and recorded the judgement.

∙ 13y agoThere typically isn't one. Statute of Limitations is to prevent someone being accused of something years after it happened when witnesses are not available and memories are not fresh. A ticket eliminates this issue. Once a ticket has been issued, there is no requirement that there be any sort of time frame associated with resolving it. As laws vary form place to place, you would have to check with the issuing authority in Arkansas, city, county or state to resolve this citation.
