Brooklyn Community Board 1 passed a resolution allowing the NYC Department of Transportation to create a 20 MPH speed limit zone in Greenpoint and Williamsburg, aimed at enhancing safety in these neighborhoods. This initiative aligns with Sammy's Law, enabling local speed limit authority. Beginning in September, after a public comment period, the DOT plans to reduce speed limits in 250 city locations, especially near schools, and is set to establish one Regional Slow Zone in each borough. This resolution marks an important step in the DOT’s safety redesign efforts for local streets.
"Beginning in September, following a 60-day public comment period, NYC DOT will begin reducing speed limits in 250 locations by the end of 2025, with a focus on priority locations such as schools."
"Sammy's Law, a New York State law which passed the legislature last year, authorizes the city to implement its own speed limits in select areas (20 MPH for individual streets and 10 MPH undergoing certain safety redesigns)."
