is there a time limit the courts have?

[ed1980s]

i live in nj and have traffic tickets in newark nj. is there a time limit they have to give me an arraignment?

If charges have already been pressed (i.e. you have been given a ticket) then Statute of Limitations no longer applies.

The constitution guarantees the right to a speedy trial. So how long is "speedy" in NJ traffic court?

I believe in NJ you actually have to exercise your right to a speedy trial. If you don't actually submit the proper request for it, you are waiving that right. I could be mistaken though.
