Palmyra is a hub for DWI charges despite being one of the smaller municipalities in Burlington County at approximately 2.5 square miles. There is absolutely no doubt that the primary reason for this fact is the presence of the Tacony-Palmyra Bridge which feeds a high volume of drivers into the town from Philadelphia Pa. This artery is patrolled by the Burlington County Bridge Commission Police who are extremely aggressive, as may have discovered, in trying to arrest individuals for DUI. When you combine the efforts of this agency with those of the borough police in Palmyra, you have a hotbed for violations in this otherwise low key destination along the Delaware River.
