What evaluation does the adjudication phase focus on?

The adjudication phase is primarily concerned with the determination of guilt or innocence regarding a traffic violation. This phase typically follows the collection of evidence, analysis of traffic reports, and citation issuance. It involves presenting the gathered evidence in a court or legal setting to establish whether the accused was in violation of traffic laws.

During this phase, both the prosecution and defense may present their cases, including witness testimonies and any relevant documentation, to argue for or against the defendant's guilt. The outcome of the adjudication phase ultimately decides whether the defendant will be held liable for the alleged traffic offense, thus making the evaluation of guilt or innocence the core focus of this stage in the traffic law enforcement process.
