NY Lawmakers to Pass 'Sammy's Law', Lowering NYC Speed Limits to 10 & 20 mph
Apr 19, 2024, 03:26 AM
New York state lawmakers are poised to pass 'Sammy's Law', which will allow New York City to lower street speed limits to 10 and 20 mph in an effort to enhance street safety. The bill is named after Sammy Cohen Eckstein, a Brooklyn boy tragically killed by a speeding driver over a decade ago. Advocates, including Sammy's family, have long fought for this change, aiming to prevent similar tragedies. The law's passage is seen as a significant victory for street safety advocates and has been supported by various officials and entities across the state. Amy Cohen, Sammy's mother, expressed that this moment would not have been possible without tireless advocacy and commitment to street safety.
