Authorizes a five mile per hour speed limit for open streets in cities with over one million residents.

This bill amends the vehicle and traffic law to authorize a five mile per hour speed limit for open streets in cities with a population exceeding one million. Open streets are defined as streets or segments where motor vehicle access is controlled by barriers and signage or other traffic calming measures, prioritizing pedestrians, cyclists, and other non-vehicular users. The speed limit must comply with existing provisions for school speed limits and cannot be set below ten miles per hour if the traffic calming measure only involves a traffic control sign.
