New York City has designated certain major roadways “truck routes”. If you are driving a truck in NYC, you must stay on these truck routes. A truck can only be operated off truck routes in order to make a local delivery or pick up.
NYC truck routes are primarily relatively major roadways within the city. The regulations are in place to protect residents from the noise and congestion caused by trucks driving on smaller city streets. Trucks can only be driven on these smaller non-truck routes if necessary.
In New York City trucks and commercial vehicles are two distinct vehicle classifications. Determining the correct vehicle classification is important for properly operating a truck or commercial vehicle in the City, as rules and regulations can vary depending on classification.
Truck route violations originally were zero point violations. Today, these violations carry two points and the fines are relatively large to start and increase in large increments if a driver is a repeat offender.
If you are a truck driver in NYC, know the truck routes. Download and review the 2010 NYC truck route map. Remain on these truck routes unless you must drive off the routes to make a pick up or delivery. If you do veer off a truck route, make sure you have paperwork documenting the delivery or pick up in question. Without this paperwork, expect a summons if you are pulled over.
We have organized a statewide network of attorneys. In our network are both attorneys who work for Feifer & Greenberg and attorneys who work for other firms that regularly provide of-counsel representation to our clients. This statewide network allows us to match clients in a particular county or court with local attorneys who regularly appear on similar matters in the same county or court. It enables us to help clients anywhere in New York State and in our opinion provide particularly effective and affordable representation for our clients. Local attorneys can draw on their particular local experiences and, with travel time and expense removed from the equation, help us keep our legal fees low.
We recommend fighting almost all tickets. Even if the current NY traffic tickets aren’t particularly harmful, you have an incentive to keep your record clean for the future. Convictions quickly lead to surcharges, insurance increases and other complications. You should strongly consider any decision to pay a ticket without fighting.
Our lawyers are experienced, prepared attorneys who understand the nuances of fighting traffic tickets. Experience, preparation and good decision making help us to help our clients avoid points, surcharges, insurance increases and the other negatives that can easily result from a traffic ticket.
