'Sammy's Law' to Allow NYC to Set 20 mph Speed Limits
Apr 19, 2024, 03:26 AM
New York state lawmakers are poised to pass 'Sammy's Law,' which will allow New York City to set its own speed limits, potentially reducing them to 20 mph. The legislation, named after Sammy Cohen Eckstein, a Brooklyn boy tragically killed by a speeding driver over a decade ago, aims to enhance street safety. Advocates, including Sammy's family and his mother Amy Cohen, have long championed this cause. The law's passage marks a significant victory for these advocates and is expected to make the city's streets safer for all.
