Ashley is an unusual traffic jurisdiction because the town crosses the DeKalb-Steuben County line, with State Road 4 forming the county boundary through the community. Ashley's town government also identifies I-69 access at Exit 340 on the east side of town. (Wag & Paws)
If you received a ticket in Ashley, check the citation carefully because the county and court handling the case can depend on where the alleged violation occurred.

Where Do Ashley Traffic Tickets Go?
Ashley does not have a current city court listed in the Indiana Judicial Branch's active court directory. DeKalb County's current caseload plan assigns moving-traffic OV cases to DeKalb Superior Court I. (Government of India)
However, Ashley crosses into Steuben County. If the citation was issued on the Steuben County side of the town, the relevant court may be different. The court named on your citation controls.

For moving-traffic OV cases filed in DeKalb County:

Why the Ashley county line matters
The Town of Ashley states that its northern third is in Steuben County and southern two-thirds are in DeKalb County, with the center line of SR 4 serving as the county line. (Wag & Paws)
That is a critical distinction for anyone searching for an "Ashley traffic court." Do not assume that every citation issued in the town is a DeKalb County case.

Traffic Division: 260-925-4576 Main: 260-925-0912 (DeKalb County)

DeKalb County Infraction Deferral for an Ashley Traffic Ticket
A current official DeKalb County source was not located that publishes a complete traffic-deferral eligibility and fee schedule. The county does list the Prosecutor's Office at the courthouse.
DeKalb County Prosecutor's Office 100 S. Main Street Auburn, IN 46706 Phone: 260-925-1646 (DeKalb County)
Do not assume an ABetterDriver online DSP satisfies a county deferral agreement unless the appropriate prosecutor or court confirms it.
Driving and Traffic Conditions Specific to Ashley
State Road 4 Through Ashley
Ashley town government describes SR 4 as the town's main transportation corridor. The same source notes that I-69 is immediately accessible from the east side of town. (Wag & Paws)
For drivers, this creates a meaningful highway-to-local-road transition. Traffic conditions can change quickly between the interstate, SR 4 and Ashley's local streets.
I-69 Exit 340
INDOT's interchange information identifies Exit 340 at SR 4 in Ashley. (Government of India)
Drivers approaching the interchange should account for merging traffic, vehicles slowing for local destinations and traffic entering SR 4 from the interstate.
Ashley's County-Line Location
Because SR 4 follows the DeKalb-Steuben County line through town, a short trip within Ashley can cross county jurisdiction. (Wag & Paws)
That makes checking the court listed on a citation particularly important.
Current Ashley Road Work
No current Ashley-specific road project was confirmed in the sources reviewed. Check INDOT's current travel and road-condition information before traveling. (Government of India)
