BILL NUMBER:S2253
Title of bill
An act to amend the vehicle and traffic law, in relation to speed limits on highways passing a school building
Purpose/summary of provisions
Provides flexibility in establishing school speed zones along a highway. School speed limits of 15 MPH may be established on any portion of a highway passing a school building for not more than 600 feet plus the width of the building.
Justification
Road conditions are different in each school zone. For safety reasons, some highways, for example, may need a 15 MPH zone for 400 feet on one side of the building and only 200 feet on the other side. This gives the school district, the DOT and the municipality the option to divide the 600 feet as the conditions demand.
Fiscal implications
None.
Effective date
Immediately.
