Madison County Overview
Madison County Municipal Court
The Madison County Municipal Court handles most traffic tickets in the county. The court is at 1 North Main Street, London, OH 43140. This is where traffic citations, misdemeanor cases, and civil claims are processed. The court has its own online case search system that lets you look up records by name, case number, or date.
One important thing to know: the court's computer records have a built-in delay. There is at least a 24-hour gap between when something is filed in court and when it appears in the online system. Sometimes the delay is longer. If you just got a ticket yesterday and cannot find it online, that is normal. Give it a day or two. The court also warns that information may be changed or updated without notice. If you need verified information for legal purposes, make a written request or visit the court in person.

Madison County Traffic Points
Under Ohio Revised Code Section 4510.036, every traffic conviction in Madison County gets reported to the Ohio BMV. Points are added to your driving record based on the type of violation. Two points for most moving violations like speeding 10 to 29 mph over the limit. Four points for serious offenses like reckless operation or going 30 mph or more over the posted speed.
Six points go on for the worst violations: OVI, leaving the scene of a crash, street racing, and fleeing law enforcement. If you accumulate six points in two years, the BMV sends a warning letter. Twelve points in two years leads to a six-month license suspension. Madison County is right next to Franklin County, and a lot of commuters drive through both counties daily. Points from tickets in either county add up on the same driving record.
A remedial driving course can remove two points from your record. The BMV allows one such credit every three years and caps it at five lifetime credits. The Ohio Department of Public Safety keeps a list of approved driving schools.

Interstate 70 is one of the busiest highways in Ohio, and it runs straight through Madison County. The Ohio State Highway Patrol writes a large number of tickets along this stretch. If you got a citation from a trooper on I-70, the case goes through the Madison County Municipal Court. Speed limits and construction zones on the interstate can change without much notice, and that leads to plenty of tickets for drivers who were not paying close attention. The court handles all of these cases the same way, whether you are a local commuter or passing through on a long trip.
