Call (717) 724-7503 | Schedule a consultation Traffic enforcement in Adams County. Adams County traffic enforcement is anchored by PA State Police Troop H out of the Gettysburg barracks on Old Harrisburg Road — the primary patrol presence on US 30, US 15, and the county's rural township roads. Borough departments in Gettysburg, Littlestown, Biglerville, and McSherrystown handle municipal enforcement, while Cumberland Township Police covers the dense corridor around the battlefield. The county's tourist traffic — hundreds of thousands of visitors annually to Gettysburg — creates an enforcement environment that extends well beyond the local resident population, with out-of-area drivers regularly stopped on Routes 30, 34, and 116. All Adams County traffic citations are handled at the magisterial district judge level — Districts 51-3-01 through 51-3-04 — with appeals to the Adams County Courthouse at 111 Baltimore Street, Gettysburg.

Before you pay, call us — a free consultation costs nothing and the point reduction alone can save you hundreds in annual insurance premiums. How does the Pennsylvania point system work? Points are assessed per violation. Six points triggers a PennDOT warning and mandatory driving exam under §1538. Eleven points triggers automatic suspension under §1539. Points reduce by three for every twelve consecutive months of clean driving. Can I appeal an Adams County MDJ traffic decision? Yes. Pennsylvania allows a de novo summary appeal to the Adams County Court of Common Pleas at 111 Baltimore St Gettysburg PA 17325. You get a fresh hearing — the MDJ decision is not binding on the appeal court. What happens to my CDL if I get a traffic citation in Adams County? CDL holders face federal disqualification consequences separate from the state point system. Two serious traffic violations within three years trigger a 60-day CDL disqualification. Three violations trigger 120 days. How much does a traffic citation attorney cost in Adams County? Attorney Quinlan offers flat-fee representation for most Adams County traffic citation cases.
