Relates to authorizing a five mile per hour speed limit for open streets in cities having a population in excess of one million

This bill authorizes a 5-mile-per-hour speed limit on "open streets" in cities with populations exceeding one million. Open streets are defined as NYC-designated streets with physical barriers and signage prioritizing pedestrians, cyclists, and non-motorized users, as outlined in NYC's administrative code. The law sets 5 mph as the minimum allowable speed limit for these areas, prohibiting lower limits while maintaining existing school zone rules. It applies specifically to New York City's open streets program, which requires traffic calming measures to ensure pedestrian safety.
