Caledonia stretches across the northern half of Racine County between Milwaukee and downtown Racine, and its traffic volume reflects that. Three 55 mph state highways (WI-32, WI-38, and Interstate 94) run through the village, and the Caledonia Police Department works all three actively. We defend Caledonia traffic citations in the Village of Caledonia Municipal Court and criminal traffic matters at the Racine County Circuit Court.
Where your Caledonia ticket will be heard
Village of Caledonia Municipal Court hears civil traffic citations written by local Caledonia police, including ordinary speeding, stop-sign and stoplight violations, equipment tickets, and seat-belt citations.
Racine County Circuit Court (730 Wisconsin Avenue) hears all criminal traffic charges and civil citations written by the Racine County Sheriff or Wisconsin State Patrol.
Check the upper-right corner of your citation for the court name before assuming which rules apply. Fines, plea options, and collateral consequences differ between the two.
