It is different for every state. My state has a class of offense below misdemeanor, petty misdemeanor. Petty misdemeanors are not considered crimes in my state, the max penalty is a $300 fine. We also have a special class of speeding ticket for a dumb “parkway” freeway that rich white people lobbied for and received a 45 mph speed limit by state constitutional amendment. Any ticket in this zone for speeding between 45-55 mph is a simple $100 fine that is not even recorded or reported to insurance. This means the speed limit is effectively 55 mph, and an easy way around the constitutional amendment. This freeway is I35E between downtown St Paul, MN and Mendota Heights, MN.
