If you received a traffic ticket in Jonesboro, Indiana, the first practical question is which Grant County court has jurisdiction over the citation.
Jonesboro sits along the US 35/SR 22 transportation corridor, west of Gas City. INDOT's roadway information identifies Jonesboro in the US 35/SR 22 corridor, with SR 15 also connecting at the Jonesboro area. (Indiana Government)
For drivers, this means a Jonesboro ticket can involve a state-road corridor that carries traffic between the Marion area, Gas City, Upland and communities farther west.
Where Do Jonesboro Traffic Tickets Go?
Jonesboro is outside Marion's corporate limits. Under Grant County's current local rules, qualifying infraction cases occurring in Grant County outside Marion are generally assigned to Gas City City Court, except cases assigned to Grant Superior Court 3 under the applicable exceptions. (Indiana Government)
The citation itself controls, so verify the court printed on your ticket.
