Courthouse Overview
Kearny Mesa Traffic Court is at 8950 Clairemont Mesa Boulevard, in the Kearny Mesa office corridor off the 163 and the 52. It handles traffic and juvenile infraction matters — the citations most people receive, contest, or ignore.
It is a limited-purpose building, and the limits are the useful part. There are no felony or misdemeanor criminal custody calendars here, no bail counter, and no jail attached. If a case involves someone in custody, that case is at the Central Courthouse downtown or the appropriate regional center, not on Clairemont Mesa Boulevard.
Small claims is the most common wrong assumption about this courthouse. Small claims business for San Diego County runs out of the Hall of Justice at 330 West Broadway downtown, not from the traffic court. The court's current listing for this location names traffic and juvenile infraction matters only.
The reason a bail company writes about traffic court at all is the back end. An unpaid citation or a missed traffic appearance can convert into a bench warrant, and a bench warrant is what turns a routine traffic stop months later into a night in custody. That is the point where this becomes our problem to solve rather than a paperwork problem.

Hours Of Operation
Court hours and jail release timing are two different clocks. Kearny Mesa Traffic Court runs on a weekday court calendar; the jail holding your family member runs 24 hours a day.
| Courthouse building opens | 7:30 a.m., Monday – Friday |
|---|---|
| Business office hours | 8:30 a.m. – 4:00 p.m., Monday – Friday |
| Business office phone hours | 8:30 a.m. – 11:30 a.m., Monday – Friday |
| Traffic & minor offense information | (858) 634-1800 |
| Saturday, Sunday & court holidays | Closed |
| Armstrong Bail Bonds | Open 24 hours, every day |
Court hours and jail release timing are separate systems. San Diego Superior Court keeps weekday hours; the facility holding a defendant accepts a bail bond at any hour, including nights, weekends, and court holidays.
San Diego Superior Court business offices answer phones from 8:30 a.m. to 11:30 a.m., Monday through Friday. Our San Diego office line, (619) 560-0106, is answered 24 hours a day.
Release timing follows the facility, not the courthouse. A municipal jail release can move in a couple of hours; a county facility commonly runs longer, and longer still overnight and on weekends.

How To Post Bail At Kearny Mesa Traffic Court
Bail review and reduction motions in California run under Penal Code §1270.1, and the starting figure comes from the San Diego County Superior Court felony and misdemeanor bail schedule.
Nothing is posted at this courthouse — but a traffic matter that goes sideways is exactly how people end up needing a bond. A failure to appear or an unpaid citation can become a bench warrant, and that warrant sits quietly until a traffic stop, an airport check, or a background run brings it forward.
When someone is arrested on a warrant out of a traffic matter, the custody is at a jail like San Diego Central Jail or Las Colinas, not here, and the bond is filed there. Warrant amounts are frequently far larger than the original ticket.
If there is an outstanding warrant and no arrest yet, that is the good version of this problem. Call us before it becomes a 2 a.m. call — we work these with counsel routinely and there are usually cleaner options than waiting.
Every bond we write is issued by a California Department of Insurance licensed bail agent under Cal. Ins. Code §1800, at the statutory 10% premium.
If A Court Date Here Is Missed
A missed appearance at Kearny Mesa Traffic Court can mean a forfeited bond and a bench warrant the same day. There is a statutory window to bring the defendant back before forfeiture becomes a judgment against the cosigner — call us immediately. Failure to appear bail bonds →

Who is writing this bond
A family that has posted bail in California since 1926
Cecil C. Armstrong opened our Glendale office in 1926. Four generations later, Bill Armstrong (CEO) and Nikki Armstrong (Co-CEO & Licensed Bail Agent) — the fourth generation of the family — still run the company, and our agents still answer the phone themselves. When you call about an arrest in Los Angeles or San Diego County, you reach a licensed Armstrong agent, not a national call center that hands your file to a stranger in another state.
