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.
Why Pennsylvania Commuters Choose Martin A. Kron & Associates, P.C.
Commuters from southeastern Pennsylvania into New York face high enforcement areas along bridges, tunnels, and expressways. Our team, led by a former New York traffic court judge, helps drivers assess the consequences, navigate court appearances, and clarify impacts on insurance or home-state licensing.
We assist Pennsylvania drivers ticketed along:
- I-78 and I-80 commuter routes
- I-95 and the Bronx approach to Manhattan
- George Washington Bridge connections from Fort Lee
- Lincoln Tunnel routes from the NJ Turnpike
- Major parkways in Westchester and Rockland counties
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.

"He didn't have to talk to me on his weekend but he did."
I Hired Martin to help resolve 2 tickets I received for improper use of a cellphone. Martin listened to my story and was very honest and said I would lose the case unless I could prove it was a dire emergency. Martin explained how the process worked and that there was no ability to plea the tickets down. He explained points of law and how his firm would represent me in the cases. He did this during a Sunday morning while with his family. I was very impressed with his dedication to my cases. He didn't have to talk to me on his weekend but he did. Very classy.
By the way, he won the first case for me! Second is pending. But regardless of the outcome, I know he is working hard to represent my case properly. Thanks for everything

"Reduced my son's fine considerably."My son and I consulted with Martin for a traffic violation that was received in the Bronx in 2016. His knowledge reduced my son's fine considerably as well as helped him shed points in an efficient manner. We would recommend him for hire.Paul

"I will never deal with another attorney again."
I experienced a very difficult situation between the states of New York as well as New Jersey where I was potentially facing a 6-month suspension of my license. Aside from the fact that I live 6 hours from New Jersey, I was in dire need of professional expertise to ensure that my situation was handled as well as possible. I spoke with a number of attorney's and decided to hire Martin; and will never deal with another attorney again. Martin was extremely friendly, offered great advice and support and ultimately helped me to have all of the charges thrown out with my case being dropped.
As we all know, no one can promise or guarantee the same outcome. However, if you want the best chance to receive the best possible outcome, Martin Kron and his team are your only option.

"I would refer him to anyone, anytime for anything."I had 3 cell phone violations within 18 months, which by law subjects me to license suspension. Mr. Kron and I deferred our case 4 times which is the maximum. When we finally decided to plead me guilty, Mr. Kron did everything within his power to reason with the judge for leniency-and he succeeded!! I was found guilty, have to pay a fine, but will be able to keep on driving which is extremely important for me to maintain my lifestyle. Most importantly, during this process, I was a nervous wreck. Mr. Kron was immediate in his responses to my inquiries----almost replying to my texts before I hit send!! I cannot thank this man enough... I would refer him to anyone, anytime for anything. He did an absolutely wonderful job for me. One final thought. You know how you read about or see about everything else that works for other people but never works for you? This is a case where this guy was an angel and delivered me the best possible outcome. I am a very lucky man today because of Mr. Kron.Brian

"Excellent Service!"Once I called Mr. Kron's office, all of my issues were resolved. He took the time to review my case and recommend the best solutions for me; even from a financial perspective. I will recommend him to ANYONE who requests legal aid in his coverage area and will be calling him again if I find myself in another bind.Kevin

"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!
