A traffic ticket is a notice issued by a police officer or other government official (like a parking warden) to a motorist or other road user who fails to obey traffic laws. Traffic tickets generally come in two forms, citing a moving violation, such as exceeding the speed limit, or a non-moving violation, such as a parking ticket.

In some countries, a traffic ticket constitutes a notice that a fine, and perhaps some penalty points, have been assessed against the driver or owner of a vehicle; failure to pay generally leads to prosecution or to civil recovery proceedings for the fine. In others, the ticket constitutes a citation and summons to appear at traffic court.
