How are citations typically issued when speeding is detected by SMDs?

• A. Written on the spot, referencing SMD data
• B. Sent via mail after a review period
• C. Only given during a formal court session
• D. Posted on public bulletin boards

Answer: (A)

Citations are typically issued on the spot when speeding is detected by Speed Measurement Devices (SMDs). This immediate action allows law enforcement officers to address the violation as it occurs, ensuring that the driver can be informed of the offense and any relevant details related to the speeding incident, including the specific data recorded by the SMD. The on-the-spot citation process helps maintain accountability and provides the driver with an opportunity to comply with traffic laws right away.

While other methods, such as sending citations via mail after a review period, can be used in different contexts, they aren't standard for immediate speeding violations detected by SMDs. Similarly, administrative processes like posting citations on bulletin boards or limiting them to court sessions do not align with how enforcement usually responds to real-time speeding offenses.
