flag NYC will lower school zone speeds to 15 mph at 2,300 locations by 2026 to boost child safety.

flag New York City will lower speed limits to 15 mph in 800 additional school zones by the end of 2026, expanding a program under state law known as Sammy’s Law. flag The move, aimed at improving child safety, applies to school zones regardless of whether school is in session and is enforced through speed cameras and police stops. flag The city plans to implement the 15 mph limit at 2,300 school locations by the end of Mayor Zohran Mamdani’s first term, building on previous efforts that established 500 such zones. flag Officials say reducing speeds from 25 mph to 15 mph significantly lowers the risk of severe injury or death in pedestrian collisions. flag The initiative is part of broader Vision Zero efforts to eliminate traffic fatalities, which remain steady in early 2026 despite progress in previous years.
