Bill > A04316

This bill authorizes the village of Lewiston in Niagara County to reduce the speed limit on Center Street to 25 miles per hour, in accordance with section 1643 of the vehicle and traffic law. Specifically, the bill grants the village's governing body the legal power to establish this lower speed limit through a local law, ordinance, order, rule, or regulation. The legislation provides a targeted local government with the ability to adjust traffic speed on a specific street, likely for safety reasons such as pedestrian protection or neighborhood characteristics. The act takes effect immediately upon passage, allowing the village to implement the speed limit reduction promptly after adopting the appropriate local legislative mechanism.
