Disobey Traffic Control Device

Many people in NYC have received a disobey traffic control device ticket. Often, they are a bit confused about exactly what the infraction is. Interestingly enough, it is the most cited ticket in New York City. The ticket is often written, but the law is not the most clearly stated law on the books:

S 1110. Obedience to and required traffic-control devices. (a) Every person shall obey the instructions of any official traffic-control device applicable to him placed in accordance with the provisions of this chapter, unless otherwise directed by a traffic or police officer, subject to the exceptions granted the driver of an authorized emergency vehicle in this title.

Disobeying a traffic device carries 2 points in NYC. Many of its provisions are more specifically covered in other sections of the traffic law and carry 3 points. Whether if it is a 2- or 3-point violation, the lawyers at My Tickets NYC will develop the best defense and vigorously implement it to fight your ticket and win!

Let’s say you drive into a construction area. You must follow the instructions on a portable sign or instructions painted on the road. If you do not, you may receive a ticket for disobeying a control device. If you disobey a traffic light, you may be ticketed. You may also receive a ticket for not obeying a stop or yield the right-of-way sign. If you do not obey a traffic arrow or other traffic sign (electric or standard) you will be in jeopardy of receiving a disobey traffic control device ticket.
