Allows cities, towns, and villages in New York to set their own speed limits.
This bill amends the vehicle and traffic law to allow any city, town, or village in New York to establish their own speed limits on local roads. The minimum speed limit set by local laws must be at least 25 miles per hour, except for school speed limits, which can be as low as 15 miles per hour for up to 1,320 feet near schools. This change gives local governments more control over traffic safety measures.
