Greenwood deserves one of the strongest city pages in Johnson County because it has its own City Court, its own traffic violation deferral program, a full BMV branch, and several major regional traffic corridors.
ABetterDriver.com offers a BMV-approved Indiana online Driver Safety Program for $28.95. (Indiana Government)
Greenwood City Court Traffic Tickets
Greenwood City Court has jurisdiction over misdemeanors and infractions allegedly occurring anywhere in Johnson County, in addition to Greenwood ordinance violations. (City of Greenwood)
Greenwood City Court 186 Surina Way Greenwood, IN 46143 Phone: 317-882-5129 (City of Greenwood)
Greenwood provides online and telephone options for eligible court payments. (City of Greenwood)
The court shown on your actual ticket still controls.
Greenwood Traffic Violation Deferral Program
Greenwood City Court has its own published traffic violation deferral process, making this page materially different from the other Johnson County city pages.
The City's current FAQ states that an accepted traffic violation is held in deferral for 12 months. If the participant receives no new traffic violation during the period and satisfies the agreement, the ticket is dismissed without being reported to the BMV. (City of Greenwood)
Eligibility is not automatic.
The City's current materials identify offenses that are not eligible, including:
Speeding in a school zone.
Speeding more than 25 mph above the posted speed limit. (City of Greenwood)
Greenwood directs applicants to apply online so the deferral coordinator can determine eligibility. (City of Greenwood)
Do Not Confuse Greenwood Deferral With an Online Driver Safety Program
Greenwood traffic deferral and an Indiana BMV-approved Driver Safety Program are separate processes.
Do not assume ABetterDriver.com's online Driver Safety Program replaces the Greenwood deferral agreement or any separate Greenwood requirement.
What to Do After a Greenwood Traffic Ticket
Check whether Greenwood City Court appears on your citation.
Note the response date.
Look up the case if available.
Determine whether the ticket can be paid.
If interested in Greenwood deferral, apply before missing the applicable deadline.
Determine whether you separately received a BMV Driver Safety Program requirement.
Verify any course ordered by the court.
Complete the appropriate requirement on time.
Greenwood Indiana Online Driver Safety Program
ABetterDriver.com is currently listed by Indiana BMV as an approved online DSP provider and charges $28.95. (Indiana Government)
Approved Indiana DSPs contain at least four hours of instruction.
Voluntary 4-Point Credit
Successful completion of a BMV-approved DSP results in a 4-point credit on the Indiana Official Driver Record, available once every three years. (Indiana Government)
The credit does not erase the underlying Greenwood ticket.
Driving in Greenwood: U.S. 31, SR 135 and I-65
Greenwood's transportation system is substantially different from the smaller Johnson County towns.
City planning identifies I-65, U.S. 31, and State Road 135 among Greenwood's heavily traveled corridors. (City of Greenwood)
Main Street and U.S. 31
Greenwood's comprehensive transportation planning specifically identifies the Main Street/U.S. 31 area as experiencing peak-period backups. (City of Greenwood)
That makes this a legitimate Greenwood-specific traffic issue rather than generic filler.
Drivers should expect changing lane movements, turning traffic, signal queues, and interactions between local and regional traffic.
Averitt Road and Smith Valley Road
Greenwood has also been developing a roundabout at Averitt Road and Smith Valley Road, an area near Greenwood Community High School and Southwest Elementary. The city identifies the project as a response to traffic backups in the area. (City of Greenwood)
Current construction conditions can change, so drivers should use Greenwood's live construction and traffic-notice resources before relying on a particular lane configuration. (City of Greenwood)
Greenwood BMV Branch
349 S. Washington Street Greenwood, IN 46143 888-692-6841 (Indiana Government)
A branch visit is not required merely to complete ABetterDriver.com's online Driver Safety Program.
