New York City's speed limit reduced to 20 mph under "Sammy's Law" approved by Governor Kathy Hochul.
New York Governor Kathy Hochul has approved legislation, part of the state budget, that allows New York City to reduce the speed limit to 20 mph, named "Sammy's Law" in memory of 12-year-old Sammy Cohen Eckstein who was killed by a speeding car in 2013. The law aims to improve road safety and potentially save lives. NYC will join cities like Washington D.C. and Seattle that have already implemented lower speed limits.
