The Central Traffic court on Clairemont Mesa Boulevard is San Diego County's dedicated traffic courthouse — most citations written in the city of San Diego and the central communities are filed here under court code 37480. Unlike San Diego's branch courts, this location handles traffic volume all day, so its phone line at (858) 634-1800 is busiest mid-morning; the express drop box out front is available around the clock.
San Diego decides eligibility from the courtesy notice mailed about two weeks before your appearance date — it will say if you may attend traffic school, and you should not enroll until it does. Look up your citation with your citation or case number through the Pay Your Ticket portal, or call the court to confirm.
Use the court's online "Request Traffic School" option (or mail, drop box, or phone) to pay your bail plus San Diego's $52 traffic school fee and receive your one-time 90-day continuance. That fee is paid to San Diego Superior Court and is separate from any course payment when you pass. Verify the current fee with the court — it can change.
Click "Start Free" above. Start free with no upfront course payment — give your school court code 37480 along with your name, date of birth, driver license number, and case/citation number so completion posts to the right case. Immediate access, self-paced lessons in English or Spanish, unlimited retries, pay only when you pass.
Pass the final and your completion is reported electronically to the court, as San Diego requires — California-licensed drivers don't mail a certificate. Keep enough time before your 90-day deadline for the court record to update.
Traffic school completion is e-filed, so you don't need a DMV trip just to report the course. If you need DMV services for another reason, use the official DMV location finder. Check your citation first; the court listed there controls where the case is handled.
