In response to new state powers, NYC's Department of Transportation will implement 20 mph speed limits in four new neighborhoods this spring. This new initiative expands on past efforts to create safer environments for pedestrians. The selected zones have more pedestrian activity and are bounded by distinct geographic lines. Additionally, DOT is working toward lowering speed limits on 250 street segments citywide by year's end, particularly around schools and in high foot traffic areas, following the adoption of 'Sammy's Law' for enhanced traffic safety.
"I'm pleased that DOT will be implementing Brooklyn's first Regional Slow Zone in DUMBO - a neighborhood densely crowded with pedestrian foot traffic," Restler said.
"The slow zones range in size from almost half a mile to 0.18 square miles in DUMBO. DOT chose the zones based on well-defined geographic boundaries."
