What Affects Rates in St Paul
- State Patrol concentrations on I-94 between Marion Street and McKnight Road and I-35E near the Maryland Avenue interchange result in high citation rates for speed violations 10+ over. A single speeding ticket at 15 over adds 4 points. Two such citations within a year put most drivers at suspension threshold before any additional violations.
- University Avenue corridor automated enforcement at Dale Street, Snelling Avenue, and Hamline Avenue intersections generates red-light citations that add 3 points each. Drivers accumulating one red-light violation plus two speeding tickets often discover they are suspended only after receiving the DVS notice.
- December through March icy conditions on steep grades near Summit Avenue, Ramsey Hill, and West Seventh Street lead to failure-to-maintain-control citations, each worth 2–3 points. These cluster with prior fall speeding violations to push totals over 6 points by late winter.
- Downtown St. Paul Ramsey County courthouse handles all local traffic cases. Drivers whose most recent violation involved reckless operation or speed 25+ over must confirm whether that citation also triggered separate SR-22 requirement beyond the points suspension itself.
