Pennsylvania Drivers Ticketed in New York
Navigating Out-of-State Traffic Violations
Every day, thousands of Pennsylvania residents cross into New York for work, school, or errands, traveling along corridors such as I-78, I-80, I-95, and the New Jersey Turnpike connecting to the George Washington Bridge or Lincoln Tunnel. Commuters from Bucks, Montgomery, and Delaware counties can face unexpected New York traffic tickets, even for routine trips into Manhattan or the Bronx.
At Martin A. Kron & Associates, P.C. we help Pennsylvania drivers understand how a New York traffic violation may affect their driving record and insurance, and what steps they can take to address it.

Understanding How Out-of-State Violations Affect Pennsylvania Drivers
Unlike New Jersey, Pennsylvania drivers rarely receive points on their home-state license for minor New York traffic violations. However, all convictions are reported under the Driver’s License Compact, which can alert the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation and your insurance company. Even without points, these violations can lead to insurance rate increases or influence future license considerations, particularly if serious offenses are involved.
Pennsylvania drivers should also be aware that serious violations in New York, such as DUIs, reckless driving, or accidents resulting in injury, can trigger administrative penalties at home. Understanding these distinctions helps commuters avoid surprises and manage both states’ requirements effectively.

With tailored guidance, Pennsylvania drivers can manage the challenges of out-of-state traffic tickets efficiently.
Common Traffic Violations for Pennsylvania Commuters
PA drivers commuting to New York encounter unique traffic environments, from dense urban streets to high-speed expressways.
Common tickets include:
Speeding in Commuter Corridors
Highways like I-78, I-80, and I-95, as well as bridges and tunnel approaches, often have changing speed limits. Pennsylvania drivers accustomed to regional limits may find themselves cited for exceeding New York’s stricter thresholds.
Distracted Driving & Handheld Device Citations
New York enforces strict bans on handheld devices. Commuters from Pennsylvania may underestimate enforcement near tunnels, Manhattan exits, and heavily trafficked city streets.
Traffic Signal & Lane Violations
Complex urban interchanges in lower Manhattan, the Bronx, and the Westchester Parkway network often result in red-light or lane-change tickets for out-of-state drivers unfamiliar with local patterns.
Commercial Vehicle Compliance
Pennsylvania CDL holders traveling into New York for deliveries or client visits face heightened scrutiny. Out-of-state traffic violations can affect employment, licensing, and record-keeping at home, even for minor infractions.

"The best decision I made."
I highly recommend Martin Kron & Associates. I had a great experience. A good friend recommended me to Marty last year when I received a speeding ticket in NYC. Marty knows the process extremely well, listened & answered all of my questions, and ultimately got my ticket dismissed. In addition, during the past 20 months, when I had questions regarding the adjournments and processes, all of the people in his office were extremely responsive, professional and great at answering all of my questions. Before getting the referral to Marty, I called a few other traffic law firms that I found online to possibly handle the ticket. They all sounded like ticket factories with no real service and no real people behind you. Having Marty or one of his attorneys representing you in NYC traffic court was the best decision I made and is 100% the right answer. I got a great result and felt that I had the A-team on my side. If you get a traffic ticket in NYC, I would call Martin Kron...

"No fine and no points on my license!"Martin is an excellent lawyer. I had a hearing for a cell phone ticket that I forgot about. I called him 1 day before and Martin attended the hearing the following day in my absence and got me a No Guilty Fee! Resulting in no fine and more importantly - no points on my license!John

"The judges in the courts we were in knew who he was and liked him."Martin Kron and his office did a wonderful job helping me with traffic tickets that were more than 3 years old!!! The judges in the courts we were in knew who he was and liked him and his professionalism. His associates in his office were very very nice, timely and helpful. He was always reachable and actually made the experiment fun... I was worried I would have to pay high fines because I had not done anything about these tickets for so many years, but because of Martin and his relationships with the courts, I really got great fines with no points added to my license!!! I forwarded his information to several of my friends because we finished so quickly. I would refer him again at any time.Darra

"Mr. Kron is wonderful!"Mr. Martin A. Kron is a knowledgeable, professional, effective and caring Attorney. And finding this combination is very rare. He treats you like a client, but he also treats you like family. I have gotten speeding tickets in the past and handled them myself. But this was a DWI Ticket (and a careless driving ticket) and I was petrified. I found Mr. Martin Kron, and he was wonderful. He believed what I had to say, he walked me through the process, and he even gave me his cell number and home email so that I could contact him any time I felt scared or confused. The first court date was just to enter the plea. Mr. Kron spoke with the Prosecutor prior to the second court appearance and we were hoping that based on the evidence, the Prosecutor would dismiss the tickets. No such luck. I think the Prosecutor wanted another "win" in his column, and I was going to be it. Mr. Kron presented our case and the Prosecutor presented why he had grounds to proceed to trial. But Mr. Kron professionally stood his ground and the 2 tickets were dismissed that day! I couldn't more highly recommend an attorney! Mr. Kron is wonderful!Eileen
