In general, traffic tickets are considered violations of civil law rather than criminal law. However, certain traffic offenses, such as DUI or reckless driving, can be classified as criminal offenses. A typical traffic ticket for minor infractions, like speeding or running a stop sign, usually results in a fine and points on the driver's license, but does not lead to a criminal record. It's always advisable to check local laws, as regulations can vary by jurisdiction.
