A.

It is declared to be the intention of the metropolitan council that in the issuance of any traffic citation or any complaint or warrant for the violation of any section of this title or other metropolitan government ordinance, it shall be sufficient to cite the number of the section of this title or the ordinance number and the section violated, together with a brief statement of cause of action sufficient to place the defendant on notice of the charge he is called upon to defend against.

B.

No traffic complaint or warrant shall be declared void by reason of the fact that the incorrect ordinance or section number was cited, so long as the complaint or warrant states a cause of action sufficient to place the defendant on notice of the charge he is called upon to defend against.
