Bill > A04371

This bill amends the New York Vehicle and Traffic Law to reduce the radial distance defining a "school speed zone" from one thousand three hundred feet to one hundred twenty feet from a school building, entrance, or exit. By narrowing the geographic area around schools where reduced speed limits and photo speed violation monitoring systems apply, the bill effectively reduces the zone in which drivers must observe lower speed limits. This change could potentially impact traffic flow and speed enforcement near schools in New York City, making the speed zone more compact and focused on the immediate vicinity of school buildings. The bill will take effect thirty days after becoming law, and the amendment will be considered repealed along with the original section of the law when that section is ultimately repealed.
