The Metropolitan Traffic Division at 3131 Arrow Street handles the traffic side of Bakersfield's caseload. Most people never think about traffic court until a forgotten ticket turns into something bigger, and that is usually when a family ends up calling us.
When a traffic matter becomes a bail issue
An unpaid citation or a missed traffic date can escalate into a failure-to-appear warrant. Once that warrant exists, a routine stop anywhere in the state can lead to an arrest. The good news is that warrants can often be addressed before they ruin a day. In some cases a bond lets a person resolve the matter and walk in and out rather than sit in custody.
How we help with traffic warrants
If you or a loved one has a Bakersfield traffic warrant, call us and we will explain your options clearly. Where a bond applies, we can arrange it quickly so you face the Metropolitan Division on your terms instead of in handcuffs. We will be honest about when a warrant is something you can simply walk in and clear versus when a bond genuinely helps.
Stay ahead of the date
The simplest way to avoid all of this is to never miss a traffic court date in the first place. For any client we work with, we track court dates and send reminders, because the Arrow Street calendar moves fast and a small oversight should not become a custody problem.
