Salem stays a small crossroads town, but a ticket where Route 85 meets Route 82 still goes to Norwich Superior Court (GA21), where local court practice matters.
Salem is a small, quiet town in southeastern Connecticut’s New London County, the kind of place whose history has always been shaped by its remoteness. The scattered farms in this corner of the colony sat far from any church, so in 1725 the residents petitioned for a parish of their own — New Salem Parish — named for Colonel Samuel Browne, the area’s largest landowner, who hailed from Salem, Massachusetts. The land itself, rocky and craggy, kept settlement sparse and the population low, a character the town has retained to this day. The area was known even earlier as “Paugwonk,” a name still attached to the neighborhood near Gardner Lake.
For so small a town, Salem holds a notable place in American cultural history. In 1835 Oramel Whittlesey founded the Music Vale Seminary here, an institution credited as the first accredited music school in the United States. Young women came from across the country to study music in this rural setting, and pianos were even manufactured nearby, a short distance up the old turnpike. The seminary flourished until 1876, an unlikely center of musical education tucked into the eastern Connecticut hills.
Salem has long been a crossroads. The old Hartford and New London Turnpike — now Route 85 — was a toll road heavily traveled by legislators in the nineteenth century, who used it to reach the capital in winter when the Connecticut River was impassable. Around the town spread the farms, woods, and the waters of Gardner Lake on the eastern side, which today draws boaters and anglers and gives the town a recreational draw alongside its rural calm.
The town’s traffic still rides those old routes. Route 85 runs north and south through Salem, Route 82 crosses toward the Route 11 expressway, and the two meet at a roundabout near the town center. These roads carry steady commuter and through traffic and see periodic enforcement, with citations turning up along the busier stretches. We follow these roads and the equipment used along them, which is generally where the violations described below begin.

Read Article →You're not required to hire one, but a ticket can carry more than a fine — points on your license and a possible insurance increase. An attorney who handles Connecticut traffic matters can review your options and frequently appear for you so you don't have to take time off.
Continuances buy time but don't resolve anything on their own. Pushing the case off again and again usually just stretches it out. It's generally better to have the ticket reviewed and a real strategy chosen.
Salem is served by Norwich Superior Court (GA21), the geographical-area courthouse that handles motor-vehicle matters for the town and the surrounding southeastern communities.
For many traffic matters an attorney can appear at the Norwich courthouse on your behalf, so you may not need to make the drive yourself. We can review your ticket and explain what your appearance would involve.
Depending on the violation and your record, a conviction can add points to your Connecticut license and may affect your insurance. How serious that is depends on the specifics, which is why it helps to review the ticket before deciding how to handle it.
Free phone consultation. Flat fee. We do the rest — most clients never set foot in court.
