FAILURE TO OBEY A HIGHWAY SIGN

Failure to Obey a Highway Sign
Isn’t Just a Simple Ticket

Failure to Obey Highway Signs – VA Code § 46.2-830

If you were stopped for ignoring a traffic sign, such as a stop sign, yield sign, or lane restriction, you could face more than just a minor citation. Under Virginia law, this is a traffic infraction that can carry real consequences:

  • 3 demerit points on your driving record (lasting 3 years)

  • Fines of up to $250

  • Increased car insurance premiums for several years

  • Potential misdemeanor charges in certain cases involving accidents or reckless behavior

Many of these stops are used as legal justification to investigate further, often leading to DUI charges or searches of your vehicle. If your citation came during a broader stop, it’s critical to review the legality of the officer’s actions.

Battlefield Law Group has over 50 years of combined experience defending clients across Northern Virginia. We understand how quickly a simple traffic stop can spiral into a criminal charge, and how to stop that from happening.
