New York City Department of Transportation plans to lower speed limits in 250 locations near certain schools, open streets and other areas – NBC New York

Starting in September, the New York City Department of Transportation will begin reducing speed limits in 250 locations through the end of 2025, the department announced Thursday.

The DOT said the speed limit changes “will target certain schools, open streets, shared streets and other areas, as well as new 'regional slow zones' in each borough.”

The changes come after the passage of Sammy's Law, which allows the city to reduce street speed limits to 20 mph and 10 mph for “certain streets undergoing safety-related redesigns,” a said the DOT.

There will be a 60-day comment period later this year after community boards are notified.

Here is the full list of the first streets targeted for reduced speed limits.
