NYC's Lower Speed Limits Take Effect In Some Areas After Passage Of Sammy's Law
Drivers started hitting the brakes on more streets around New York City last week as lower speed limits went into effect as part of Sammy’s Law.
Named for 12-year-old Sammy Cohen Eckstein who was killed by a driver in 2013, the measure grants the city authority to reduce speed limits to 20 mph on individual streets, and 10 mph on streets undergoing safety-related redesigns.
DOT officials said they plan to institute a regional slow zone in each borough, and will reduce the speed limit along 62 routes by the end of the year.
