Is a stop sign ticket a moving violation?

Is a ticket for running a stop sign considered a moving violation? I don’t know how seriously I should take the ticket that I got yesterday after rolling through a stop.

In most states, yes, a stop sign ticket is a moving violation. In fact, it’s one of the most commonly cited moving violations in the United States! The fines associated with this traffic violation range from $25 to $300 or more, depending on where you live and how many prior offenses you have on your driving record.
In most cases, the penalties for running a stop sign will be mostly financial. However, you’ll also get
driver’s license points
on your record for such an infraction. If you accumulate enough of these points over time, you could face license suspension or even revocation.
Traffic infractions like running a stop sign can also cause your
car insurance
rates to increase. To make sure you’re still getting the best deal, let the
