NYC Lowers Speed Limit to 20 MPH Under Sammy's Law, Signed by Governor Hochul
May 9, 2024, 06:35 PM
New York City has been granted the authority to lower its citywide speed limit from 25 MPH to 20 MPH following the signing of Sammy's Law by Governor Kathy Hochul, effective immediately. Named after 12-year-old Sammy Cohen Eckstein, who tragically died chasing a ball into the street, the law aims to enhance street safety and reduce traffic fatalities. Governor Hochul emphasized the importance of local control over speed limits during a press conference, stating that local governments should not need to seek approval from Albany for such changes. The law was celebrated at Brooklyn's MS 51 William Alexander, highlighting its significance in preventing future tragedies.
