Union City is the most important Randolph County page for understanding the difference between county traffic court and a municipal City Court.
Indiana's current Odyssey directory confirms that Randolph/Union City City Court, cause prefix 68H02, remains active. By contrast, Winchester City Court is abolished.
Which Court Handles a Union City Traffic Ticket?
There are two potential paths.
Union City Court
Union City Court 219 S. Howard Street Union City, IN 47390 Phone: 765-964-5968
Union City Court handles municipal matters within its jurisdiction and also receives certain ordinance violations from municipalities that have entered interlocal agreements with Union City. The supplied Randolph County foundation identifies it as an active court.
Randolph Superior Court
Ordinary Randolph County state-law IF traffic infractions and Title 9 offenses are assigned to Randolph Superior Court under the county allocation rules.
Therefore, a traffic stop inside Union City does not automatically mean the case belongs in Union City Court. Read the citation.
Union City as a Regional Municipal Court
Union City has approved interlocal agreements to hear certain municipal ordinance cases from surrounding communities.
Current council materials document agreements involving Lynn, Farmland, Parker City, Ridgeville and Winchester.
These agreements concern municipal ordinance enforcement. They should not be described as transferring every state-law traffic case from those towns to Union City.

Driving in Union City: SR 32 and the State Line
State Road 32 travels east across Randolph County and terminates at the Indiana-Ohio state line in Union City, where the route continues into Ohio. Current Randolph County and state-road mapping confirms the corridor.
That creates a local traffic environment involving:
Indiana-Ohio cross-border traffic.
Downtown local traffic.
Regional traffic on SR 32.
Trucks and agricultural traffic.
Railroad freight activity.
Drivers unfamiliar with the transition between two states.
Union City Traffic Code
Union City's current published municipal code contains dedicated chapters addressing:
Municipal speed limits.
School zones.
One-way streets.
Parking.
Truck rules.
Golf carts.
This gives Union City considerably more local regulatory content than most Randolph County towns.
Parking and One-Way Streets
Union City's code maintains specific schedules for one-way streets and parking restrictions. Because individual schedules can be amended, drivers should rely on current signs rather than assuming a route remains unchanged based on an older ordinance.
Union City Golf Carts
Union City's current code contains a dedicated chapter titled Regulation of Golf Carts on City Streets.
Because the online codification retrieved for this review is current only through 2023 legislation and detailed 2026 permit rules were not independently confirmed, the page should not publish an unverified current fee or operating schedule.
Current Road Work
No significant active Union City-specific highway closure was verified as of August 21, 2026.
Current county and INDOT work elsewhere in Randolph County should not be transferred to Union City without location-specific confirmation.
