Revere traffic court records go through the Boston Municipal Court system, specifically the East Boston Division, because Revere is in Suffolk County. If you received a traffic ticket in Revere, your case will be at the East Boston Division BMC rather than a standard district court.
Revere Overview
Which Court Handles Revere Traffic Cases
Revere is in Suffolk County, which means traffic cases here go through the Boston Municipal Court (BMC) system rather than the District Court system used by most other Massachusetts cities. Specifically, Revere traffic violations are handled by the East Boston Division of the Boston Municipal Court, located at 37 Meridian St, East Boston, MA 02128.
This is different from most Massachusetts cities, where a standard district court handles traffic matters. The BMC East Boston Division operates under the same rules and procedures for traffic cases, but the court has a different structure and caseload than a typical district court. If your citation says Boston Municipal Court or references East Boston, that confirms your case is here.
Revere is adjacent to East Boston and is directly affected by Logan Airport traffic. Route 1 through Revere is one of the busiest commercial roads in the state, with heavy truck traffic, shopping centers, and high speeds. The MBTA Blue Line connects Revere to downtown Boston. Logan Airport flight traffic affects local roads, particularly near the Route 1A interchange. Revere Beach Parkway has historically been a major enforcement corridor as well.

Route 1 and Traffic Enforcement in Revere
Route 1 through Revere is one of the most heavily trafficked commercial roads in Massachusetts. The road runs through a stretch of retail plazas, fast food restaurants, and car dealerships. Speed enforcement on Route 1 is regular, and the volume of tickets issued here is significant.
Common violations in Revere include speeding on Route 1, aggressive lane changes, failure to yield, and cell phone use. Route 1A near the airport also sees enforcement, particularly for trucks and commercial vehicles. Revere Beach Parkway, one of the oldest parkways in the country, has speed enforcement as well.
Massachusetts speed limits are set by MGL Chapter 90, Section 17. The default in a thickly settled area is 30 mph. On Route 1, posted limits apply and vary by section. Many drivers get caught on transitions between speed zones.
Every moving violation adds SDIP points to your Safe Driver Insurance Plan record, raising your auto insurance premium. For violations with significant SDIP impact, a hearing is worth the $25 fee.
Contesting a Ticket from Revere
Civil traffic tickets issued in Revere fall under MGL Chapter 90C. You have 20 days from the ticket date to pay, request a clerk hearing, or request a judge hearing after losing at the clerk level.
A clerk-magistrate hearing costs $25. It's informal - you explain your case, the clerk decides. If you lose and want to appeal, a judge hearing costs $50. At the judge level, the issuing officer must appear. If they don't show up, the case is dismissed. For Route 1 violations where the officer has a busy patrol schedule, this rule can be relevant.
The official resources for tickets from Revere are the same as anywhere in Massachusetts: pay your traffic ticket and appeal your traffic ticket. The state's hearing guide explains what to expect at the East Boston BMC hearing.
Information on court filing fees is at the BMC and district court filing fees page. Since Revere cases go to the BMC, this page is directly applicable.
OUI and Criminal Traffic Cases in Revere
Criminal traffic charges from Revere are also handled at the East Boston Division BMC. OUI is covered under MGL Chapter 90, Section 24. Route 1's combination of high traffic volume and commercial establishments makes OUI enforcement a regular occurrence in Revere.
