Definition of California Vehicle Code 22349 a vc
(a) Except as provided in Section 22356, no person may drive a vehicle upon a highway at a speed greater than 65 miles per hour.
(b) Notwithstanding any other provision of law, no person may drive a vehicle upon a two-lane, undivided highway at a speed greater than 55 miles per hour unless that highway, or portion thereof, has been posted for a higher speed by the Department of Transportation or appropriate local agency upon the basis of an engineering and traffic survey.
For purposes of this subdivision, the following apply:
- A two-lane, undivided highway is a highway with not more than one through lane of travel in each direction.
- Passing lanes may not be considered when determining the number of through lanes.
(c) It is the intent of the Legislature that there be reasonable signing on affected two-lane, undivided highways described in subdivision (b) in continuing the 55 miles-per- hour speed limit, including placing signs at county boundaries to the extent possible, and at other appropriate locations.
Cost of California Vehicle Code 22349 a vc
The average cost for this traffic ticket is as follows:
- Speeding over 1-15 mph over 65 mph limit – $238

- Speeding over 26+ mph over 65 mph limit – $490 or more
However, the actual cost of violation code 22349(a), exceeding 65 mph freeway speed, can be much higher than just the court imposed fine for the ticket. If you just pay the traffic ticket, a point will be added to your driving record and can stay there for 3 more years. Think about it, depending on how many points you have on your driving record and who you use for your auto insurance, the true cost of this one traffic ticket on your driving record could end up being $2,700 or more over 3 years.
You may also want to keep in mind that if you have 4 points on your driving record in on year, or 6 points in 2 years, or 8 points in 3 years, the DMV will suspend your driver’s license. If this happens, you can bet it will cost you a lot more in possible lost wages, court fines, and other personal expenses due to the lack of having a valid driver’s licenses.
The estimated total court fine for violation code 22349(a), exceeding 65 mph freeway speed, will vary based on the additional county and city fees added on to the State fine for this ticket.
