A 9104 New York Assembly · 2025 Regular Session

Relates to establishing first responder safety zones

This bill establishes designated "first responder safety zones" along highways near emergency vehicle facilities (like fire stations or ambulance bases), covering up to 660 feet. It requires clear road markings (white hash marks) and signs, sets a 15 mph speed limit within these zones, and mandates that drivers yield to emergency vehicles entering or operating within them. Violating these rules incurs fines ($500 for first offense, $1,000 for second). The law directly affects drivers operating vehicles near emergency facilities and aims to improve safety for responders during emergencies.
