a) no
b) if you were stopped by a police officer and cited, and had to pay a fine to the court, then you would state that on your application, and show proof the fine was paid. It will have no negative bearing on your application.

I was stopped by a cop for a fused headlamp and given a warning ticket with no fine. I got it set right and showed it at the police station and that was it. Do I need to declare this?

Maybe the common practice accetable by USCIS has not been
established yet since the history of disclosing traffic violation
is very short before 2003 traffic violation was excluded.

Parking ticket violatite township/municipaty ordinance not state or
federal laws but N-400 forms explicitly say violation of
ordinance should be reported so that I don't see why
parking ticket should be violated. On the other hand,
common perception is that reporting parking ticket
is not necessary. In my opinion, you can use
as criteria that whether a court appearance
is needed to determine whther it should be
reported or not. A parking ticket is
issued without even a name.

On the other hand, maybe reporting a parking ticket
has positive effect on your application. It gave the
application reviewer impress how honest you are.

By the way, I don't think anyone is honest enough
or stuypid enought to report whatever traffict
violation made in foreign countries (Canada
might be an exceptiuon because USA and Canada
may share driver's license records so that your
traffic violation in Canada may be visible to
USCIS)
