55 MPH Zone: The TSP stretches more than a 100 miles from White Plains in Westchester up to Columbia County. The speed limit throughout the Taconic State Parkway is 55 mph. Many drivers mistakenly believe that the highway turns into a 65 mph zone when it traverse through more rural parts of Upstate New York. This misunderstanding is a large contributing factor to the significant number of speeding tickets issued along this highway.
State Police: For the most part, the TSP is patrolled by the New York State Police. Other police jurisdictions can share the patrol duties along this busy interstate such as County Sheriffs, Park Police, and MTA Police.
Tickets issued on the Taconic are made returnable to the local court with jurisdiction over the particular stretch of highway that the ticket was issued.
