Description

Traffic Court is part of the Provincial Court of Alberta. It deals with offences (commonly referred to as provincial offences) under provincial statutes such as the Traffic Safety Act and Regulations under this Act, municipal by-laws and a few federal statutes. Traffic Court does not deal with charges under most federal statutes, including the Criminal Code. Trials in Traffic Court are generally heard by a sitting justice of the peace (usually referred to as a Traffic Commissioner). However, Provincial Court judges hear trials at some locations in the province. A Provincial Court judge should be addressed in court as Your Honour, and a Traffic Commissioner, as Your Worship.
