If you were given a traffic ticket on a highway in the Bronx such as the Henry Hudson Highway, East Side Highway, Major Deegan Expressway, Mosholu Parkway, Cross Bronx Expressway, Bruckner Expressway, Hutchinson River Parkway, or the Bronx River Parkway, you were ticketed by an officer of the New York City Police Department’s Highway 1. If you were given a ticket on a surface street you were likely given a ticket by a street cop who just has to write a few “movers” a month to keep his Sergeant off of his back.
