Bill > A00039

This bill authorizes the village of Canton in St. Lawrence County to reduce the speed limit on a specific segment of East Main Street from the current speed limit to 40 miles per hour. The bill allows the village's governing body to establish this reduced speed limit through a local law, ordinance, order, rule, or regulation, in accordance with section 1643 of the vehicle and traffic law. The specific stretch of road affected is between mile marker 11 7506 1320 and mile marker 11 7506 1332 within the village limits. By providing this explicit authorization, the bill gives the local government the legal permission to modify the speed limit on this particular road segment. The bill would take effect immediately upon passage, which means the village can proceed with implementing the speed limit reduction as soon as they pass the appropriate local legislation.
