Traffic Tickets in the Town of Brutus
Any traffic violation alleged to have occurred within the town of Brutus will be adjudicated in the Brutus Town Court. The court is located in the village of Weedsport within the Town of Brutus Municipal Building. It should not be confused with the Weedsport Village Court, which only handles village matters.
The Brutus Town Court is one of the busiest courts in the region. This is because a large part of Interstate 90 (New York State Thruway) traverses east-west through the town. New York State Police are the exclusive police agency that patrol the Thruway. They conduct traffic stops for various traffic infractions. The most typical citation is for a speeding violation. The speed limit on the Thruway does not exceed 65 miles per hour. Motorists clocked at 80 mph or above will usually be stopped and ticketed. Through Brutus, the Thruway is flat and straight. Such road conditions give rise to inadvertent speeding.
The vast majority of motorists ticketed in Brutus are not from Cayuga County. In fact, many are not even from New York State.
