BILL NUMBER:S3528A
Title of bill
An act to amend the vehicle and traffic law, in relation to prohibiting U turns in school zones during posted hours
Purpose
The purpose of this bill is to assure that school zones remain safe for students
Summary of provisions
This bill adds a subdivision b to Section 1161 of the Vehicle and Traffic Law, prohibiting U turns within a posted school zone during posted hours
Existing law
Current law prohibits U turns on curves and at the crest and approach to an incline
Justification
This bill is meant to provide more predictable traffic patterns within school zones. School zones provide a buffer zone around areas in which students are more likely to be travelling on foot and in cars. Speed is therefore limited to provide drivers and pedestrians additional time to assess dangers. By limiting the ability of drivers to conduct U turns in such zones, student safety is further enhanced.
