Area Speed Limits Act sets rules for establishing speed limits in certain towns and cities in New York.

The Area Speed Limits Act amends the vehicle and traffic law to establish guidelines for setting speed limits in suburban towns and cities with populations over 50,000. It allows town boards to set lower speed limits within towns, cities, and designated areas, but not below 25 miles per hour, except for school zones where limits can be as low as 15 miles per hour. The act also specifies that speed limits must be based on engineering considerations and certified by a licensed professional engineer. The changes take effect immediately.
