## Palisades Interstate Parkway Court (Court Code 0288)
The Palisades Interstate Parkway is patrolled by the Palisades Interstate Parkway Police, and tickets are heard in the Court of the Palisades Interstate Park (1 Alpine Approach Road, Alpine, NJ 07620; 201-768-8702) — a separate statewide court created by state statute, NOT a municipal court. All sessions are held virtually, so Goldman Law Firm represents drivers from anywhere, including out-of-state (many parkway tickets go to New York drivers near the George Washington Bridge). On the parkway, common violations use park ordinance numbers instead of Title 39: speeding = § 413.1B, careless driving = § 411.1W, following too closely = § 411.1R, failure to keep right = § 411.1U, disregarding signs = § 411.1Q, unlicensed operator = § 411.1C. DWI is the exception — still charged under N.J.S.A. 39:4-50.
