Default: Does One Accused of a Traffic Infraction in New York Have the Right to a Speedy Trial

My question involves a traffic ticket from the state of: New York

By law and assuming the right is not waived, does one convicted of a traffic infraction in New York have to be tried within a certain amount of time before dismissal is warranted? Why or why not.

Does the law set forth by this court case still apply?

People v THORPE, 1994

Quoting THORPE

---

the court merely asserted that the right to a speedy trial did not apply to a traffic infraction. This assertion is incorrect, since the constitutional right to a speedy trial applies to all prosecutions

What about the 6th and 14th amendments to the United States Constitution, do these apply to traffic infractions in New York?
