Bill > S08022

This bill authorizes the town board of Dekalb in St. Lawrence County, New York, to establish a reduced maximum speed limit on a specific portion of United States Route 11. Specifically, the bill allows the town board to set a speed limit of at least 45 miles per hour for a section of the road that starts one-quarter mile north of the intersection with East Dekalb Road and ends one-quarter mile south of the entrance to the Hermon-DeKalb Central school athletic fields. The legislation provides an exception to existing general, special, or local laws or codes, giving the town board the discretion to modify the speed limit through a local law, ordinance, order, rule, or regulation. This bill appears to be a targeted measure to potentially improve road safety in a specific area near a school, and it will take effect immediately upon enactment.
