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.

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.

"If you need an Ace in the hole, he's your man!"Mr. Kron was on top of my case like an eagle in the treetops and kept me informed the entire time of every change as well as every possible outcome. His attention to detail, professionalism, and demeanor is UNMATCHED.Spiro

"Got me a great outcome!!"Just found out that my careless driving and my 10 over speed were both dismissed! I was freaked out since I drive commercially and can't have points on my license! I am so happy that the lawyers at MAK were able to take my case and get me a great outcome!!!!! In the past I hired another traffic attorney and all he did was take my money and I still got found guilty. Martin cost a little more but he was well worth it cuz we won!Guillermo

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

"Martin is the perfect person for this job."
As a former NYS Traffic Law Judge and having previously sat where the Judges before him now sit, Martin is the perfect person for this job. Besides a plethora of experience on and off the bench, he's kind and honest, he listens and is attentive to your concerns, is straightforward and most importantly, gives out reasonable expectations. He always returns phone calls in a timely manner and makes himself accessible even on weekends. And to top it off, he even has a sense of humor. Hope I never have to hire him again, but if the situation arises, he's my go-to guy!

"Honest with regards to the whole matter and never gave me a false sense of security"I would like to personally thank Mr. Martin Kron for his help in getting a no left turn moving violation dismissed. I had a clean driving record with no moving violation and after speaking with Mr. Kron he made no guarantees and was honest with regards to the whole matter and never gave me a false sense of security as to what the final turn out would be. He said he would only do his best and I gave him my case. I was extremely worried because it was an injustice based on the circumstances and Mr. Kron was able to get the moving violation to dismiss and I thank him very much. I recommend Mr. Kron for traffic violations without hesitation, and again I say "Thank You" Mr. Kron.Irving

"He kept in touch to make sure my issue was completely resolved."Martin Kron was very patient, fair, and upfront during my interactions with him. I am currently out of the NY/NJ area, after a recent move. But needed someone to represent me for an issue with the DMV in NYS. He was realistic with timelines and was able to ultimately get my issue resolved before it affected my current state license. Can't thank him enough. After he resolved the issue in NYS, he kept in touch to make sure my issue was completely resolved in my new home state.Orlene
