New York City is set to lower speed limit s to 20 miles per hour on a smattering of local streets following theDOT says it will start implementing the reduced speed limit s in 250 locations across the city starting in September and continuing through the end of 2025.
“Speeding ruins lives, and reducing vehicle speeds by even a few miles per hour could be the difference between life or death in a traffic crash,” said DOT Commissioner Ydanis Rodriguez. “The new Regional Slow Zones and other speed limit reductions announced today will save lives and keep people safe.”
There’s also about a mile of Prospect Park West from Grand Army Plaza to Bartel Pritchard Square in Park Slope, Brooklyn; that’s the stretch where 12-year-old Sammy Cohen Eckstein, the namesake of Sammy’s Law, was killed by a van driver as he went into the street to fetch a soccer ball.
