Argos has one of Marshall County's strongest small-town traffic pages because the community sits immediately beside a section of U.S. 31 that INDOT is actively redesigning for safety, including the U.S. 31/State Road 10 crossing.
If you received a ticket in or near Argos, first determine whether you are dealing with a pending Marshall County traffic case, county Infraction Deferral, a BMV Driver Safety Program requirement, a court-ordered course, or the voluntary Indiana four-point credit.
ABetterDriver.com is currently listed by the Indiana BMV as an approved Driver Safety Program provider offering an online course. Approved DSPs last at least four hours, and ABetterDriver currently advertises its Indiana online DSP for $28.95.
Which Court Handles an Argos Traffic Ticket?
Marshall County's current court rules assign ordinary IF traffic-infraction cases to Marshall Superior Court No. 2.
Marshall Superior Court No. 2 211 W. Madison Street Plymouth, IN 46563 Phone: 574-935-8763
The County's current court page provides phone option 1 for paying a traffic ticket and additional options for hearings, missed hearings, warrants, and outstanding fines.
The citation and Indiana MyCase remain the final authority if your particular case is assigned differently.
Marshall County Clerk Traffic Division
Marshall County Clerk 211 W. Madison Street Plymouth, IN 46563 Phone: 574-936-8922
The Clerk currently maintains a dedicated Traffic Tickets division and offers online traffic-ticket payment.
What to Do After Getting an Argos Traffic Ticket

Complete the correct requirement before its deadline.
Keep payment and course-completion records.
Argos Indiana Online Driver Safety Program
BMV-Required Online Driver Safety Program
Indiana drivers convicted of two or more traffic offenses within 12 months can be required to complete a BMV-approved DSP. Drivers under 21 are required to complete one after two or more traffic-offense convictions. A BMV-required course must currently be completed within 90 days after notification to avoid suspension.
Voluntary Indiana 4-Point Credit
Any Indiana driver can voluntarily complete a BMV-approved DSP for a four-point credit on the Official Driver Record.
The credit is available once every three years. Moving-violation points remain active for two years from conviction, and DSP completion does not erase the citation.
Court-Ordered Online Driver Improvement Courses
A court can separately order driving education. The Indiana BMV specifically warns that a court order does not necessarily require a BMV-approved DSP.
Follow the actual Marshall Superior Court No. 2 order rather than assuming ABetterDriver is automatically the required course.
Marshall County Infraction Deferral for an Argos Ticket
Marshall County operates a current Infraction Deferral Program through the Prosecutor's Office.
Published eligibility generally requires:
No moving-violation convictions during the previous three years.
No disqualifying eight-point convictions.
A current qualifying moving violation.
No accident associated with the current offense.
A valid operator's license.
No current CDL.
The Prosecutor specifically identifies accident-related offenses and failure to yield to an emergency vehicle among ineligible violations and states that eligibility remains completely within prosecutorial discretion.
Infraction Deferral Coordinator: 574-935-8624
The current official page reviewed does not publish a universal deferral fee, duration, or requirement to complete ABetterDriver.com's online DSP.
Do not assume the BMV online DSP satisfies Marshall County Infraction Deferral.
Driving in Argos: U.S. 31, State Road 10, and Major Safety Changes
Argos is particularly important to the current U.S. 31 safety discussion.
INDOT held its latest project open house in Argos on February 19, 2026 for the Marshall-Fulton U.S. 31 Corridor Interchanges and Bridges Project. Current planning includes U.S. 31 at:
State Road 10
State Road 110
County Road 700
19th Road
Broader access-control improvements
U.S. 31 and State Road 10
INDOT specifically states that interim safety measures are coming in 2026 at U.S. 31 and SR 10, while longer-term interchange plans continue to advance.
This distinction matters:
ACTIVE/INTERIM: safety measures planned for 2026.
LONG-TERM: larger interchange and access-control concepts remain part of the broader project-development process.
Drivers should not assume a conceptual interchange shown at an open house is already constructed.
Argos' 25 MPH Local Speed Rule
Argos' current online traffic code establishes 25 mph as the general maximum on Town streets, except where the traffic schedules establish another limit.
That makes the transition from the U.S. 31/SR 10 area into Argos especially important. Drivers leaving a regional highway environment should watch carefully for the lower local posted speed.
Heavy Trucks in Argos
Argos also regulates heavier commercial vehicles.
The current online code restricts semi-tractors, semi-trailers, and trucks over six tons gross weight from ordinary Town streets except designated truck routes and stated exemptions.
This is a legitimate local issue because regional U.S. 31 traffic and local Town streets operate very differently.
Golf Carts in Argos
Argos has detailed golf-cart regulations.
The current online code requires:
Annual registration through the Argos Police Department
A valid driver's license
Liability insurance
Required lights, signals, and rearview mirror
A maximum golf-cart operating speed of 20 mph
Compliance with lower posted limits when applicable
The current code also contains road-specific operating provisions. Because state and local rules can change, operators should confirm current police guidance before using a golf cart on or across a state-controlled route.
Future Argos Sidewalk and Trail Improvements
The current MACOG 2026-2030 Transportation Improvement Program includes an Argos bicycle/pedestrian project involving Marshall Street, Walnut Street, and Michigan Street.
Construction funding is programmed for a future fiscal year rather than establishing that the full project is currently under construction.
Status: FUTURE/PROGRAMMED.
Do not describe the new sidewalk/trail as completed until newer Town or MACOG information confirms it.
