Allows non-public schools to apply for school zone speed limits

This bill expands existing school zone speed limit provisions to include non-public schools. It allows non-public schools to apply for reduced speed limits of 15 mph (down from the standard 25 mph minimum) for up to 1,320 feet along roads directly adjacent to the school building, entrance, or exit. The change modifies New York's vehicle and traffic law to explicitly define "school" as covering non-public institutions, aligning their eligibility with public schools for these safety zones. This policy change affects non-public schools seeking lower speed limits on nearby roads, without altering the existing engineering requirements for establishing such limits.
