How can I get information about a traffic light, intersection, traffic control device, or timing of a traffic signal for a court appearance?

Any request must be made in writing to the:

Department of Engineering
Ms. Jacqueline M. Kassel, P. E., Senior Engineer
2400 Washington Avenue

You need to include the exact location of the traffic device, date and time of the accident, your telephone number, and any other facts that may help in the investigation.

Is there a cost for the investigation?

Yes, the cost is $50.00 per request and must be included in the letter requesting the information.  Please make checks payable to the "City of Newport News".  A receipt will be provided with the response.  There may be additional charges for maps and detailed investigations.

How long does it take Traffic to process a request for information on a court case?

The normal turnaround time is 30 days.  Please make sure your request is received in time to prepare a response prior to your court date.

Will Traffic employees testify in court for my case?
