Calaveras — 25-08 Effective: 2026 Uniform Bail Schedule · 2026-09-26 edition · updated 2026-09-27 · Calaveras County

C. Except for the following exceptions, counties must adhere to the Judicial Council’s Traffic Infraction Bail and Penalty Schedule for infraction violations of the Vehicle Code (Penal Code section 1269b and Vehicle Code section 40310).

Penal Code section 1463.28 provides that 30 counties may exceed the “Total Bail” amounts of the Traffic Infraction Bail and Penalty Schedule. Those counties are

1. Alpine 11. Lassen 21. San Joaquin
2. Amador 12. Los Angeles 22. Santa Clara
3. Butte 13. Madera 23. Sierra
4. Calaveras 14. Mariposa 24. Stanislaus
5. Contra Costa 15. Mendocino 25. Sutter
6. Del Norte 16. Modoc 26. Trinity
7. Fresno 17. Mono 27. Tulare
8. Humboldt 18. Plumas 28. Tuolumne
9. Kings 19. San Benito 29. Yolo
10. Lake 20. San Diego 30. Yuba

Additional exceptions result from two pieces of legislation that became operative on January 1, 1994:

1. Vehicle Code section 42001 allows local public entities that employ peace officers, universities, and state colleges to set
a fine schedule for bicycle violations occurring in their jurisdictions that would supersede the Judicial Council penalty
schedule.

2. Vehicle Code section 42009 requires that for any specified offense committed within a highway construction or
maintenance area during hours when work is being performed, the fine shall be double in the case of misdemeanors and in the case
of infractions shall be one category higher than otherwise provided in the Traffic Infraction Fixed Penalty Schedule. An appendix
with the specified offenses listed and the enhanced amounts follows the Traffic portion of the bail and penalty schedules, starting on
page 61.

3. Streets and Highways Code section 97 provides for increased fines for a safety enhancement–double fine zone on the segment of
Route 12 between the Route 80 junction in Solano County and the Route 5 junction in San Joaquin County.
