Does not hear traffic

The Metropolitan Division courthouse at 1415 Truxtun Avenue in Bakersfield holds the court's criminal felony, criminal misdemeanor and appeals offices, and Bakersfield traffic goes to Arrow Street instead. The Taft courthouse has been closed since 2022, and the court moved the cases set there to Lamont.

CHP area offices in this county: Bakersfield Area, Buttonwillow Area, Fort Tejon Area, Coalinga Area, Mojave Area

The Traffic Division at 3131 Arrow Street hears Metropolitan juvenile traffic infractions. The juvenile calendar has limited space, so arrange a date in person, with a parent or legal guardian, as soon as the courtesy notice arrives and no later than its due date. A juvenile cited for a moving violation must appear in court, and juvenile traffic misdemeanors go to the Juvenile Court at 2100 College Avenue.
