Area Speed Limits Act establishes lower speed limits in specific areas.

The Area Speed Limits Act amends the vehicle and traffic law to allow for lower speed limits in certain areas. In cities and villages, speed limits can be set at 15 miles per hour on highways passing schools and within city parks. In suburban towns and towns with populations over 50,000, speed limits can be set at 15 miles per hour in specific communities and on designated highways if approved by a majority of residents. The act also sets a minimum speed limit of 25 miles per hour for other areas unless otherwise specified.
