Sponsor's memo
Title of bill
An act in relation to authorizing the Rochester city traffic control board of the city of Rochester, county of Monroe to regulate speed limits in such city
Purpose
Authorizes the town board of the City of Rochester, county of Monroe, to regulate speed limits in such city.
Summary of provisions
Section 1 - authorizes the Rochester City Traffic Control Board to establish a speed limit on or along such designated highways within such city at less than twenty-five miles per hour, except that school speed limits may be established at not less than fifteen miles per hour, for a distance not to exceed one thousand three hundred twenty feet, on a highway passing a school building, entrance or exit of a school abutting on the highway.
Section 2 - Provides for an immediate effective date.
Justification
Higher vehicle speeds are strongly associated with a greater likelihood of both a pedestrian crash and serious pedestrian injury. When driving near a school, you have to avoid large numbers of children walking to and from the school building, school buses and their parent's cars. To help keep these children safe, school zones should be given special consideration.
Fiscal implications
None
