On Monday, April 22nd, Governor Kathy Hochul signed off on the Sammy’s Law portion of the state budget that would allow the NYC speed limit to be lowered to 20 mph. It’s currently set at 25 mph. Sammy’s Law is named after Sammy Cohen Eckstein, a 12 year old who was killed in Park Slope in 2013 by a speeding car. According to city crash data, 100+ children been killed in traffic collisions in NYC since. NYC’s current 25 mph speed limit was set in 2014 by then-Mayor Bill de Blasio–dropping from 30 mph–and was approved by the Legislature and former Governor Andrew Cuomo. The AAA Foundation for Traffic Safety has found that pedestrians face a 10% risk of death when struck by a car traveling 23 mph.
