Traffic Tickets in the Town of Colchester
New York State Route 17 (NYS-17) runs east-west in the southern part of Colchester. The speed limit here is 55 mph. This area of the highway is patrolled by New York State Police. They conduct many traffic stops, mostly for speeding violations. Motorists clocked north of 75 mph run a high risk of being pulled over. The speed limit is a particular issue for motorists going westbound. In Sullivan County the speed limit on Route 17 is 65 mph. Many motorists find it hard to adjust to the reduced speed as they enter Colchester.
Besides Route 17, Colchester tickets also originate from local roads. Many traffic stops occur on New York State Route 206 (NYS-206) and New York State Route 30 (NYS-30). Here traffic citations can also be issued by deputies of the Delaware County Sheriff’s Office. All Colchester traffic violations are adjudicated in one of the two Colchester Town Courts.
