Insofar as practicable, traffic offenses shall be tried separate and apart from other offenses. Except for good cause shown, if a court sits in parts and one part sits in daily session and has been designated as a traffic court, traffic offenses shall be tried in that part only, or if a court has designated a particular session, which may be an evening session, as the traffic session, traffic offenses shall be tried in that session. If there is neither a special part nor a special session, the court shall designate the time for a trial of traffic offenses. The Administrative Director of the Courts may, where necessary, direct a court to hold more frequent traffic sessions or to coordinate the sessions held by the court with those regularly scheduled by any other municipal court judges in the county.
