New Canaan runs on the daily commute to New York by rail and the Merritt, and the steady through-traffic draws enforcement — with tickets heard at Stamford Superior Court (GA1).
New Canaan occupies the back country of Fairfield County, a town on the Fivemile River that runs right up against the New York state line. It began as Canaan Parish, a religious society carved in 1731 from the northern reaches of Norwalk and Stamford, and incorporated as its own town in 1801. For its first century it was an agricultural community, but in the nineteenth century shoemaking became its leading industry, and small shops turned out footwear that was shipped well beyond the town.
The change that made modern New Canaan came with the railroad. When local businessmen financed a rail spur up from Stamford in 1866, they connected the quiet country town to New York City, and wealthy New Yorkers soon discovered it as a place to build summer estates. Over the following decades New Canaan transformed from a farming town into one of the most affluent commuter suburbs in the country, its rolling wooded lots and village center prized by families with one foot in Manhattan.
New Canaan also holds an outsized place in American architectural history. In the 1940s a group of modernist architects known as the “Harvard Five” settled here and built more than eighty modern homes, turning the town into an unlikely showcase of mid-century design. The most celebrated of them, Philip Johnson’s Glass House, still draws architecture enthusiasts from around the world to see one of the icons of the modern movement set into the New England landscape.
Daily life in New Canaan revolves around the commute, and so does its traffic. The New Canaan branch of Metro-North carries commuters to New York from the downtown station, while the Merritt Parkway sweeps across the southern part of town and Routes 106 and 124 carry local traffic through the center and out to the neighboring towns. These roads see steady commuter traffic and regular enforcement, with citations common along them. We follow these corridors and the equipment used along them, which is generally where the violations described below begin.
