Governor Cuomo signs legislation reinstating the New York City speed zone camera program, extending its hours, and expanding the number of authorized school speed zones.
Governor Andrew M. Cuomo today signed legislation (S.4331/A.6449) to reinstate the speed camera program in New York City and expand the number of authorized school speed zones from 140 to 750. The bill also expands the hours of the program to weekdays between 6 a.m. and 10 p.m.
"Something as simple as walking to and from school can be the most dangerous part of the day, especially in this city with this complexity and this density. We have learned it the hard way. We have lost too many people, especially too many young people. We have to do better and we can do better," Governor Cuomo said. "This bill will increase the number from 140 to 750 speed cameras in the city, extend the hours of operation of the speed cameras and will mandate that the city prioritize placement of the cameras by speed and crash data. It's common sense. It works and it is the right thing to do."
