Roseville Traffic School

The Census Bureau estimates 167,302 residents in Roseville on July 1, 2025. Interstate 80 and State Route 65 both cross the city. Route 65 leaves Interstate 80 and heads north, and the California Highway Patrol names Roseville first among the growing cities the route reaches, ahead of Rocklin and Lincoln.

Tickets in Roseville come from two agencies. The Roseville Police Department patrols city streets. The California Highway Patrol's Auburn Area handles traffic management and collision investigation in unincorporated Placer County, and it lists Interstate 80 and State Route 65 among its key corridors. Whichever agency writes a ticket, it ends up with Placer County Superior Court under the same traffic school rules.

The California Office of Traffic Safety's 2023 rankings count 787 people killed or injured in Roseville crashes, 27th of 62 cities of similar size, where 1st is the worst result. Speed-related crashes that killed or hurt someone numbered 130, 16th in the group, and 96 victims were in alcohol-involved crashes, 22nd. Motorcyclists accounted for 47, 19th. Pedestrians ranked near the safer end, with 23 killed or injured, 60th. The figures describe the city's roads as a whole, not fault in any one driver's case.

Roseville runs its traffic signals through an Intelligent Transportation System. The city lists 171 intelligent traffic signals, 175 traffic monitoring cameras, 60 miles of fiber optic and 27 miles of high-speed copper lines, all managed from a Traffic Operations Center. Engineers can pull up the camera closest to an intersection to respond faster to safety problems, and they coordinate signals along busy corridors so more vehicles get through with fewer stops. On the freeway, Caltrans finished the I-80 Auxiliary Lanes Project in June 2025. It added eastbound and westbound auxiliary lanes and a two-lane off-ramp at Rocklin Road to cut stop-and-go traffic between Douglas Boulevard and Riverside Avenue and between State Route 65 and Rocklin Road.

Roseville is home to the county's main courthouse. Placer County Superior Court hears traffic at the Hon. Howard G. Gibson Courthouse, 10820 Justice Center Drive, under DMV court code 31455, and drivers who come to court check in at the Clerk's Office there. The clerk's number is (916) 408-6000. The CHP still lists the building as the Santucci Justice Center, an older name you may also see on other sites. The court hears traffic in Tahoe City too, so the courthouse on your citation and bail notice is the one that counts.

Placer treats traffic school as a request that follows payment. You pay the fine plus the court's administrative fee, and the court sets that fee and your completion due date. A bail notice shows both when it arrives, but the court says the notice is a courtesy you may not get, so confirm your case with the court. Mirai Traffic School's course is a separate $24.99. The court's page makes you eligible if you have not completed traffic school within 18 months of the current citation, were not going more than 25 mph over the safe speed and were not in a commercial vehicle. An alcohol or drug charge or a two-point violation makes you ineligible. The court decides.

Mirai Traffic School reports your completion to the DMV electronically, and the court retrieves it from there. The certificate has to reach the court by your completion due date, and the court's traffic school page has a status check for it. Make sure your name, license number and court code 31455 match before then, so there is time to correct an error. The court says a driver who pleads guilty and completes traffic school by the deadline gets no point on the license record.
