Traffic Ticket Lawyer Serving Mantoloking
The speed limit on Route 35 in Mantoloking depends on the month.
The State's speed-limit order for the highway sets it at 35 miles per hour from May 1 through September 30 and 40 for the rest of the year, from the Brick Township line to the Bay Head line, and the road itself changes at that southern line too: below it Route 35 is split into separate one-way roadways, and inside the borough it becomes a single two-lane road with oncoming traffic, marked for bicycles. A driver bound for Bay Head or the Mantoloking Bridge who carries the pace of the wider road over the line is how a speeding summons under N.J.S.A. 39:4-98 gets written here, and the other summonses a road like this produces are the ordinary ones: careless driving under N.J.S.A. 39:4-97, hand-held phone use under N.J.S.A. 39:4-97.3 and unsafe passing. Most of the traffic on that road is going somewhere else, and the borough's cases are no longer heard in the borough either: Mantoloking's court now runs through Brick Township's, at 401 Chambers Bridge Road. In many cases we can appear so you do not have to. We look at the summons and your driving abstract without charge, and the fee is flat and quoted upfront.
What We Know About Mantoloking Cases
Because N.J.S.A. 39:4-98 is the charge and the Motor Vehicle Commission's point schedule counts points by the gap between the posted limit and the speed the officer wrote down, two points under 15 over, four from 15 through 29 and five from 30 up, one reading on Route 35 can fall in different bands in July and in November, so we check the date on a Mantoloking summons against the State's seasonal order and the signs standing that day.
Route 35 is marked for bicycles as well as cars through the borough, and New Jersey's safe passing law, N.J.S.A. 39:4-92.4, tells a driver overtaking a cyclist or a walker to change lanes where there is one, otherwise to leave at least four feet, and failing that to slow to 25 and be ready to stop, a charge that adds two points only when someone is hurt.
Nothing about a Mantoloking ticket is handled in Mantoloking any longer, because the violations office, the telephone line and the courtroom are all at Brick Township's court building, 401 Chambers Bridge Road, most sessions are held over Zoom, and Mantoloking's list is kept apart from Brick's own, so the court name printed on the summons, and not the building, tells you which list you are on.
