Greeley speeding tickets carry $55 surcharge

Greeley has a $55 dollar surcharge on their traffic tickets. This means a ticket for 12mph over the speed limit carries a hefty cost of $185. This is done in the name of traffic calming, which is equal to hiring more traffic cops to give out more tickets.

For comparison:

In Loveland, a four-point ticket will cost you $100 with a surcharge of $10 if you pay the ticket before your court date. Loveland doesn’t have traffic calming surcharges or victim’s fees.

The same four point ticket in Fort Collins will cost you at least $135 because the city has a $100 fine for four-point tickets and a $35 traffic calming fee. If you go to court in Fort Collins and are found guilty, you will pay a $25 court cost as well.
