Martinsville is Morgan County's county seat and the municipality most directly transformed by I-69.

Your Morgan County foundation identifies five Martinsville-area I-69 interchanges, plus SR 39, SR 44, downtown traffic, Martinsville City Court, county government, and the Morgan County BMV branch.

Which Court Handles a Martinsville Traffic Ticket?

Martinsville City Court directly handles infractions, misdemeanors, and ordinance violations.

Martinsville City Court 59 S. Jefferson Street Martinsville, IN 46151 Phone: 765-342-1259

The current City Court page says court is held weekly at City Hall. The City's own pages currently conflict slightly on the listed Wednesday session time, showing both 1:00 p.m. and 2:00 p.m. in different portions of the site. Drivers should therefore follow the time printed on their citation or confirm with the Court.

Martinsville City Court currently accepts online and telephone payment for payable cases.

Martinsville Indiana Online Driver Safety Program

The online DSP can satisfy an applicable BMV requirement or be completed voluntarily for the statewide four-point credit under current rules.

The course does not automatically dismiss a Martinsville City Court citation.

$122 for 6-month non-moving deferral

Driving in Martinsville: Five I-69 Interchanges

Your verified Morgan County foundation identifies Martinsville access at:

Exit 137: SR 39

Exit 138: Ohio Street/Artesian Avenue/Mahalasville Road

Exit 140: SR 252/Hospital Drive

Exit 141: SR 44/Reuben Drive

Exit 145: Henderson Ford Road

Drivers need to transition repeatedly between interstate-speed travel and lower-speed urban streets.

That means:

Choose exit lanes early.

Do not cross several lanes at the last second.

Expect merging traffic around closely spaced exits.

Reduce speed after leaving I-69.

Watch for turning traffic once back on city streets.

State Road 39

SR 39 is one of Martinsville's key local corridors.

INDOT completed signal and pavement work between Rogers Road and West Morgan Street during 2025. That project was expected to conclude in late 2025 and should not be represented as active 2026 construction.

The corridor remains important because it connects local traffic with I-69 and downtown.

Downtown Martinsville and Courthouse-Square Changes

The Morgan County courthouse renovation substantially changed downtown traffic during 2025 and into 2026.

County planning documents scheduled phased work involving Jefferson, Washington, Main, and Morgan Streets, including one-lane restrictions during portions of 2026.

Because individual phases change, an evergreen city page should not claim a specific downtown lane is closed unless a current notice confirms it.

The City currently lists no active alerts on its Alert Center as of August 21, 2026.

Martinsville Golf Carts

Martinsville Police publishes detailed current golf-cart requirements.

The City currently requires:

Insurance

Front and rear lighting

Brake lights

Slow-moving vehicle placard

Police inspection

Annual $30 permit

Golf carts may not be driven on:

Morgan Street

Main Street

Morton Avenue

Burton Lane

South Ohio Street south of Gray Street

and may not be driven on or across SR 37 or SR 39.

This is one of the strongest Martinsville-specific ordinance subjects.

Martinsville Parking Tickets

Martinsville Police separately accepts City parking-ticket payments at:

110 W. Morgan Street Martinsville, IN 46151.

A parking ticket is different from an ordinary moving citation filed in City Court.

Martinsville Police Department

Martinsville Police Department 110 W. Morgan Street Martinsville, IN 46151 Office: 765-349-4900 Dispatch: 765-342-5544

The Department also offers a speed-trailer program that residents can request for locations where speeding is suspected.

This does not support labeling any particular location a speed trap.

Martinsville BMV Branch

Martinsville BMV Branch + Kiosk 1391 E. Morgan Street Martinsville, IN 46151

The branch moved there in February 2025 and includes a 24-hour BMV Connect kiosk.
