Speedy Trial In New York State In New York State there are speedy trial rights for traffic tickets. The main exception is where the delay is due to the defendant not answering the ticket, not appearing in court, or requesting an adjournment. All that time does not count against the prosecution.
New York's Speedy Trial Statute: CPL § 30.30 Felonies — The prosecution must be prepared to bring the case to trial within six months of commencing the criminal case. Class A misdemeanors — The prosecution must be ready to go to trial within 90 days of filing the accusatory instrument for Class A misdemeanors.

Note that there are exceptions that allow a trial to take place after the time periods set forth in this statute. For example, a trial may get lawfully postponed if: you consent to or request a later date, or. there is a “showing of good cause.”
➢ IN GENERAL: Criminal Procedure Law § 30.30, also known as “statutory speedy trial,” requires the prosecution to establish its readiness for trial on an “offense” within a specific codified time period after the commencement of a criminal action (which occurs, generally, by the filing of the initial accusatory).
