The total cost of a traffic ticket can vary due to the fine amount plus court costs, administration fee, etc so to find out the amount of your ticket for running a stop sign you should contact the court listed on your traffic citation. You may also be able to go online to find out how much your failure to stop ticket will cost you. Many courts now have it possible that you can find out your fine amount online and pay for it online as well.

While fine amounts do vary in LA we can tell you that the fine amount we have seen from a few Louisiana courts online for your offense has been around $120. For example the Baton Rouge city court has a fine schedule listed online which states that moving violations are $117 unless listed elsewhere on their fine schedule, which your running a stop sign offense is not listed on their longer list of violations.

If you contact the court listed on your ticket directly on the phone you may want to ask the clerk of the court if there is any way in which to reduce or dismiss your ticket, such as by taking traffic school. If your are convicted of this moving violation then it would be placed on your driving record where your insurer could see it and thus it could affect your rates the next time they pull your MVR.
