contravention de grande voirie
According to Eurodicatom and backed by what I saw on Google, it just stays the same in English. Go figure. :-)

traffic offence
In the UK : Traffic offence. Cornu (vocabulaire juridique) defines 'contravention de voirie' as 'atteintes portées au domaine public'.
NB: I do not believe that 'contravention' is a 'fine' (amende).

highway infraction
C'est ce qui est donné dans le Doucet (Dic. juridique et économique).
But I found "infraction" odd and checked Google, yes there are occurrences of "highway infraction" (http://aspendailynews.com/Search_Columns/view_column.cfm?Ord...
Otherwise I agree with Robert's, Terry's and Tnkw's answers. Disagree with Writeaway, the expression can and should be translated.
