Starting November 7th, the speed limit on all New York City streets will be 25 MPH unless otherwise posted.

By getting New York drivers to slow down, we will prevent crashes, protect New Yorkers from injury and save lives. Lowering the speed limit to 25MPH is one aspect of the Mayor’s comprehensive Vision Zero Action Plan to eliminate traffic deaths and serious injuries.

The new 25 MPH speed limit will affect all NYC streets, except those where a different speed limit is posted. The speed limit on our highways will remain the same. Some big streets, which have been designed to accommodate faster speeds will remain at 30 MPH. Other streets, particularly streets near schools, may have a lower speed limit posted.
