Legal Question in Criminal Law in New York

No Posted Speed Limit

There is ALWAYS a speed limit. You need to refer to your drives handbook avaiable at the DMV for yourstate. For example you can never drive faster than 55 mph (or 65 mph)depending on your state's limit.

Also the is always the "basic speed law" That is "uyou shouldnever drive faster than prudent for the specificroad conditions, time of day and type of street."

It is very difficult to fight this type of ticket, sinceit is in the eyes of the officer.

No posted speed limit

Although I am not licensed to practice in NYor NJ and do not practice there, I do a lotof traffic defense work and it has been myexperience that most states have laws whichlimit speeds on certain roads under certainconditions, e.g., school zones. Even Montana,which has no posted speed limits on highwaysoutside municipalities, prohibits travelingat a speed unreasonable for conditions.

You need to check the traffic codes for NY andNJ (which you can do at the Lawguru website)to see what limits are imposed for what roadsand if there is an upper limit on certainroads.
