Arizona Speeding Laws

Arizona sets specific speed limits for different types of roads. These limits can vary from 15 to 75 mph, depending on the location. Speed limits are typically posted on signs along the road.

Arizona follows an "absolute" speed limit law, which means that exceeding the speed limit is illegal regardless of the prevailing conditions, unless otherwise specified. This means that even if you are driving safely and not impeding traffic, you can still be ticketed for exceeding the speed limit.

Speeding violations in Arizona are considered civil traffic violations rather than criminal offenses. This means that you will not receive a criminal record for a simple speeding ticket.

Criminal Speeding Tickets in Arizona

In Arizona, criminal speeding refers to the offense of driving a motor vehicle at an excessive speed that goes beyond a certain threshold defined by state law. Unlike a simple speeding violation, criminal speeding is considered a criminal offense rather than a civil traffic violation. It involves driving at a speed that significantly exceeds the posted speed limit or driving at a speed that is considered dangerous under the circumstances.

Here are several examples of criminal speeding:

• Driving over 20 mph above the posted speed limit
• Driving over 35 mph in a school zone
• Driving over 85 mph on freeways and highways

Criminal speeding is a Class 3 misdemeanor, punishable by up to 30 days in jail, a fine of up to $500, and possible suspension of your driver's license.
