Relates to school zone speed limits and signage and other traffic calming devices
This bill requires New York City to establish 15-20 mph speed limits near 50 school locations annually along highways adjacent to schools. Starting in the 2026 school year, 20% of these locations must display official signs with reduced speed limits, flashing beacons, and notices indicating when the lower speed limit applies. The percentage of locations with these signs increases by 20% each year, with all required signage posted by the first day of each school year. The law directly affects schools, drivers near school zones, and city traffic safety planning under New York City's administrative code.
