parking or standing - Bail.
If a resident or nonresident of a municipality having a
municipal court is arrested by a law enforcement officer solely for
a misdemeanor violation of a traffic ordinance, other than an
ordinance pertaining to a parking or standing traffic violation, and
the arrested person is eligible to sign a written promise to appear
and be released upon personal recognizance as provided for in
Section 1115.1 of Title 22 of the Oklahoma Statutes, then the
procedures provided for in the State and Municipal Traffic Bail Bond
Procedure Act as applied to municipalities, shall govern. A
municipality, by ordinance, may prescribe a bail bond schedule for
this purpose and may provide for bail to be used as payment of the
fine and costs upon a plea of guilty or nolo contendere, as provided
for in Section 1115.1 of Title 22 of the Oklahoma Statutes. Absent
such ordinance, the municipal court may prescribe a bail bond
schedule for traffic offenses. The amount of bail shall not exceed
the maximum fine and costs provided by ordinance for each offense,
unless the defendant has a previous history of failing to appear
according to the terms or conditions of a bond, in which case the
amount of bail shall not exceed One Thousand Dollars ($1,000.00).
