Queens County is the largest of the five boroughs of New York City occupying 109 square miles of land. New York City Police actively patrol the borough, annually issuing approximately 250,000 traffic tickets returnable to the Traffic Violations Bureau ( TVB). Approximately 40,000 of those are for speeding, ranking Queens County the second in the state for speeding tickets issued. Many of the speeding tickets and other traffic violations are issued on the Cross Island Parkway, Grand Central Parkway, Northern Blvd, Belt Parkway, on or near the Throgs Neck Bridge, Union Turnpike, Francis Lewis Blvd., Hillside Avenue, Jackie Robinson Parkway, Clearview Expressway, and the Long Island Expressway.
Queens has two Traffic Violations Bureaus. Queens South is located at 168-35 Rockaway Blvd, 2nd Floor, Jamaica, NY. Queens North is located at 30-56 Whitestone Expressway, 2nd Floor, Flushing, NY. Almost all speeding tickets and noncriminal traffic violations are returnable to one of the Queens TVB’s. Criminal offenses and certain trucking violations are returnable to the Queens Criminal Court.
The Queens Traffic Violations Bureaus are among the most difficult courts to resolve a speeding ticket or traffic ticket in. This is because the Queens TVB does not permit plea bargaining. Cases are heard before an Administrative Law Judge and the burden of proof required to convict is far less than in a criminal proceeding. Most Queens traffic ticket cases proceed to trial resulting in either a dismissal, conviction or in certain cases, a speed reduction after trial. If you have been charged with a Queens speeding ticket or traffic ticket, its best to retain a Queens traffic lawyer to handle the case. Queens Traffic Lawyers concentrate on Queens Traffic Tickets. They appear at the Queens TVB on a daily basis and are familiar with the judges, the nuisances of the court, and the police officers who write the tickets. Queens traffic lawyers are available to handle traffic tickets returnable to the Queens Traffic Violations Bureaus and the Queens Criminal Court.
