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.

- I-78 and I-80 commuter routes

- George Washington Bridge connections from Fort Lee
- Lincoln Tunnel routes from the NJ Turnpike

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.

"Attentive, grade A service"
I recently retained Martin and his son Dan to handle a DUI for me as I was incredibly worried that one big mistake was going to haunt me for the rest of my life. I called multiple attorneys and though their fee was by no means the lowest it came in right around the middle of all the quotes I had received. What I felt I got from them was attentive and grade A service though. From the beginning, Dan was very reassuring and set me at ease. We discussed my case and came up with a plan for how we would proceed. Over the course of the multiple appearances that I had to make he was always there at the right time, saying the right thing, and in general acting like he had my back. In addition, whenever I called the office for updates his assistant was super helpful and whenever I spoke to him or Martin, they were super generous with their time. In the end, they obtained as good an outcome as I could have ever wished for! I am very grateful to all their hard work and the professional and friendly demeanor they maintained through this entire travail. I cannot recommend them enough!

"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

"I was out of the court in 20 minutes."Marty is a professional, and a very caring person. Recently on my way to daughters graduation, I entered HOV lane at GW Bridge. On his advise I pleaded guilty but the points were waived. He met me at the court and we went before the judge right away and I was out of the court in 20 minutes.Satisfied Client

"So personable and nice."When I called the Firm I was very hesitant in even hiring an attorney but after speaking with the attorney I felt very comfortable in my decision in hiring an attorney. I had a reckless driving summons in NY and the attorney Lindsay Kron met me at court. She was so personable and nice. She was able to have my summons reduced to a no point no criminal violation with a minimal fine. This Firm is amazing and did a great job. I would definitely recommend them in the future.Rachel
