Traffic Tickets in the Town of Orangetown
Most traffic cases in the Orangetown Town Court stem from the Palisades Parkway. The parkway is two lanes in each direction, divided by a grassy median. The speed limit through Orangetown is 55 mph. The parkway is patrolled by Troop âFâ of the New York State Police. Most of their traffic stops are for speeding violations.
The court also gets traffic tickets from the New York State Thruway. In the northern part of town, the I-87/I-287 runs east-west. Orangetown is on the western side of the Mario Cuomo Bridge (i.e. Tappan Zee Bridge). The speed limit is reduced on and near the bridge. Reduced speed limits result in many speeding infractions.

There are four justice courts in Orangetown, the Orangetown Town Court, the Grand View-on Hudson Village Court, the Nyack Village Court, and the Piermont Village Court. When the Village of South Nyack dissolved, its justice court closed as well, and all its cases were transferred to the Orangetown Town Court. Each village court has jurisdiction over traffic violations charged within the boundaries of its village. The town court has jurisdiction over the rest of the town that is not included in any of the three villages.
