This occurs often on New York State Route 19 (NYS-19). NYS-19 runs diagonally through town heading north-west and south-east. It acts as the town’s arterial road as it passes through the Hamlet of Belvidere and the Village of Belmont.
A portion of the Southern Tier Expressway (I-86) falls under Amity’s jurisdiction. This is because the expressway cuts through the northwest corner of town. Motorists are often cited for speeding here as well. The authorities are known to set up a speed trap right off exit 30. Access to the interstate is provided by NYS-19.
