Traffic Tickets in the Town of Alexandria
Interstate 81 is a north-south highway that runs between the State of Tennessee in the south and the Canadian border via the Thousand Islands Border Crossing. Interstate highways are heavily patrolled in New York State, especially at border crossings. As such, a high number of traffic stops are conducted in Alexandria. The most often cited violation is for speeding. The speed limit on the I-81 is 65 mph; however, it is reduced as one nears the Thousand Islands Bridge. Motorists entering from Canada have a different problem. They often fail to adjust properly between kilometers and miles when entering the US and inadvertently exceed the speed limit.
All traffic stops on the I-81 are conducted by the New York State Police. Traffic citations are issued on local town and village roads as well. The main roads are New York State Route 26 (NYS-26) and 37 (NYS-37). NYS-26 is one of several roads that lead into Alexandria Bay. It also provides access to the nearby local airport. NYS-26 runs north-west and south-east. NYS-37 runs north and south through the northeast corner of town. Please note that the Alexandria Bay Village Court has closed. The Alexandria Town Court is now responsible for adjudicating all traffic violations from the town and the village. Court sessions are held twice a month.
