Traffic Tickets in London, Ontario
In London, provincial offences matters — including traffic tickets — are heard through the Ontario Court of Justice on Dundas Street, separately from the city's own parking ticket system.
Ontario’s Provincial Offences Act lets municipalities run their own provincial offences courts to handle matters like traffic tickets, bylaw infractions, and other non-criminal charges. The underlying Highway Traffic Act rules that define speeding, careless driving, and similar offences are identical across the province — but the local court location, mailing address, and payment process are set by each municipality, so what applies in London won’t necessarily apply in a neighbouring city.
London's provincial offences court
The City of London directs traffic ticket recipients to the Ontario Court of Justice at 824 Dundas Street, open Monday to Friday from 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. (holidays excepted). As with any Ontario provincial offences matter, you generally have the option to pay the ticket out of court at any point before your scheduled trial date, or to pursue an early resolution meeting instead of going straight to trial.
Paying online
For online payment, London's provincial offences page points to paytickets.ca as the internet payment option for traffic and other provincial offence tickets. This is the same third-party platform used by several other Ontario municipalities' provincial offences courts, so the site will typically ask you to identify which court or municipality issued your ticket before processing payment.
Parking tickets are a separate system
A detail worth flagging for London specifically: municipal parking tickets are not paid through the same provincial offences channel as Highway Traffic Act tickets. The City of London's website notes that parking tickets go through the city's own parking division rather than the Ontario Court of Justice payment process, so if you have both a moving violation and a parking ticket, expect to handle them separately.
