41B District Court - Macomb Township Traffic Records
The 41B District Court is the court of record for all traffic ticket cases from Macomb Township. The courthouse is at 22380 23 Mile Road in Macomb, MI 48042. The court's address and the township share the same name, which helps. When you get a traffic citation anywhere in Macomb Township, the case goes to this court. The 41B handles both civil infractions and misdemeanor traffic offenses for the township.
Macomb Township is one of the fastest-growing communities in Macomb County. New residential development has brought more drivers and more enforcement activity on key roads. Traffic enforcement is active on Hall Road (M-59), Romeo Plank Road, and Garfield Road. These corridors see speed limit violations, signal infractions, and occasional lane-change cases. Under MCL 257.907, civil infractions are handled by admission, admission with explanation, or at an informal or formal hearing. Every resolved case becomes a permanent record at the 41B District Court.
Since the 41B also serves Clinton Township, which is the most populous township in Michigan, the court handles a significant caseload. Staff can search records by name or case number. In-person requests are accepted during regular business hours. Call ahead at (586) 412-5900 to confirm hours or ask about specific case details before making the drive to the courthouse.
If a crash was involved in the citation you are looking into, accident reports under MCL 257.617 are filed separately. Those go to the Michigan State Police or the responding agency, not to the district court. You may need the accident report and the court record separately depending on what you are trying to document.

Search Macomb Township Traffic Records Online
Michigan's statewide case search system, MiCOURT, covers many district courts including the 41B. The search is free and open to anyone. No account is needed. Search by name or case number to see charges, hearing dates, case status, and final disposition. MiCOURT is the fastest way to check whether a Macomb Township traffic case is in the system before contacting the court.
The ExpressSOS portal shown above, available at mvic.sos.state.mi.us, handles Secretary of State records including your personal driving abstract. It is separate from the court search but useful if you want to see how a conviction appears on your official state record. For court case records specifically, MiCOURT or a direct request to the 41B District Court are the right paths.
MiCOURT shows public case data only. Sealed or restricted records will not appear. For certified copies or full case documents, contact the 41B District Court clerk directly at (586) 412-5900. The Michigan Courts website also has a full court directory for Macomb County and statewide contacts.
Points and Your Driving Record
Traffic violations from Macomb Township that result in a conviction add points to your Michigan driving record under MCL 257.320. Points are assessed at the time of conviction or when a civil infraction goes unanswered. The severity of the violation determines the point total. Speeding 6-10 mph over carries 2 points. Speeding 11-15 mph over is 3 points. Reckless driving carries 6 points.
Points stay on your Michigan driving record for two years from the conviction date. They do not drop at one year. If your point total reaches 12 or more, the Michigan Secretary of State can require a reexamination. Failing that hearing, or not showing up, can lead to license restrictions or a full suspension. Given Macomb Township's active enforcement on Hall Road and Romeo Plank Road, it is worth checking your current point standing before deciding whether to pay or fight a ticket.
The Secretary of State keeps your driving record, not the 41B District Court. You can order a copy of your driving abstract online through ExpressSOS or at any SOS branch location. A conviction at the 41B posts automatically to the SOS system. Reviewing your abstract before a court date can help you understand how much is at stake if the case goes against you.
Some violations go beyond point accumulation. Operating while intoxicated, driving with a suspended license, and certain serious traffic offenses become criminal matters at the 41B. Those cases show on your record differently from standard civil infractions. They can affect insurance rates and employment background checks in addition to license status. If you are facing one of those charges rather than a routine speeding ticket, getting legal advice before your court date is worth the time.
Getting Copies of Macomb Township Traffic Records
To get copies of traffic records from Macomb Township cases, contact the 41B District Court clerk. In-person requests are the quickest option. Staff can look up a case and print copies while you wait. Plain copies cost $1.00 per page. Certified copies cost more and are required for legal purposes or license reinstatement. Bring the name on the citation, the date, and the case number if you have it.
Mail requests are accepted at 22380 23 Mile Road, Macomb, MI 48042. Include the relevant case details and a check or money order for the copy fee. If you do not know the exact fee, call (586) 412-5900 before mailing. Processing times for mail requests depend on current court volume and may take a week or more.
If you need your full driving record rather than a specific court file, request a BDVR-154 from the Secretary of State. Under MCL 257.208c, Michigan residents have the right to request their own driving abstract. The ExpressSOS portal is the fastest way to get it online. The SOS abstract and the 41B court record together give you the full picture of any Macomb Township traffic case history.
