Traffic Ticket Lawyer Serving Ocean Township
Ocean Township is the suburban township behind the beach towns: it sits in Monmouth County, never touches the ocean, and is easy to confuse with the Ocean Township in Ocean County.
Route 35 runs the east side as a divided highway where left turns are made through jughandles and the shopping centers open straight onto the through lanes; Route 18 runs the west side at highway speed; Route 66 traces the southern edge to the Asbury Park Circle; and Deal Road, West Park Avenue and Asbury Avenue carry the cross-town traffic between Oakhurst, Wanamassa and Wayside. Each road writes its own summons: Route 18 produces the higher speeding bands of N.J.S.A. 39:4-98, the Route 35 jughandles and lot exits produce improper-turn tickets and the careless driving charge under N.J.S.A. 39:4-97 that follows a shopping-center collision, and the signals along Route 35 and West Park Avenue produce the phone-in-hand stop under N.J.S.A. 39:4-97.3. Wherever it was written, the ticket is heard in Ocean Township Municipal Court, 399 Monmouth Road, Oakhurst, minutes down the same road from our office in West Long Branch. What follows you is the points on your abstract, not the fine you paid, so we treat every ticket as a record problem first; the first conversation costs nothing, the fee is flat and stated before you decide, and on most ordinary tickets you never see the courtroom because we go in your place.
What We Know About Ocean Township Cases
Three highways cross Ocean Township, each with its own ticket — the higher speeding bands on Route 18 between the Deal Road and West Park Avenue interchanges, improper turns and the careless driving charge that follows a collision where a jughandle or shopping-center driveway rejoins Route 35, phone-in-hand stops at the Route 35 signals, and low-limit speeding in the school zone on West Park Avenue and on the side streets of Wanamassa.
The court that hears them is Ocean Township Municipal Court in the township municipal complex at 399 Monmouth Road in Oakhurst, the same building as the police department and a few minutes down the same road from our office in West Long Branch, which is why we are in that courtroom regularly and why, for most ordinary tickets, the date is one we can cover without you ever having to attend.
A reading a few miles over the limit on Route 18 is far over the limit on a residential street in Wanamassa, because the speeding bands count miles over the posted limit and that limit drops from highway speed to neighborhood speed within blocks of the ramps, so we first establish which limit governed where you were clocked, then pull the calibration records for the device, and only then weigh what your record can take.
