The San Diego Difference

Match the citation to one of four division codes

The court asks traffic schools to receive the code for the division where the ticket was filed. Copy it carefully from the case information.

Code 37480

Central Traffic — Kearny Mesa

Use this code when the citation is filed in the court's Central Traffic Division.

Code 37440

East County — El Cajon

Use this code for a traffic case assigned to the East County Division.

Code 37465

North County — Vista

Use this code when the case belongs to the North County traffic office.

Code 37485

South County — Chula Vista

Use this code for citations filed in the South County Division.

Do not guess the code. Use the division shown on the ticket, reminder notice, or online case. See the San Diego court guide for division contact details.

One-Time Court Window

What the 90-day continuance means

days to complete after the court grants the request

The 90-day period comes from San Diego Superior Court, not from Freeway.
Online, mail, express drop box, telephone, and counter requests can all lead to the same one-time continuance; processing times differ.
For a mailed or drop-box request, the court advises allowing several weeks for a response, so do not wait until the appearance date.
If the deadline or payment status is unclear, contact the division printed on the citation before starting the course.

Enrollment Accuracy

Five fields San Diego says must match

Incorrect or missing case information can prevent the court from crediting a completion. Enter the information exactly as the court displays it.

Full legal name — match the driver and citation records.
Date of birth — use the cited driver's information.
Driver license number — include the issuing state when requested.
Case or citation number — copy the complete identifier.
Court code — use 37480, 37440, 37465, or 37485 according to the filing division.

California license

Freeway reports completion electronically. Keep your confirmation and check the online court record before the deadline.

Out-of-state license

San Diego says paper certificates may be issued to out-of-state drivers, who are responsible for notifying the court with the signed original. Confirm the instructions before finishing.
