Zohran Mamdani: “This year, speed limits will be lowered at an additional 800…”

“That is why today I am proud to announce that we are going to reduce the speed limit to 15 miles per hour outside all eligible 2,300 school zones. This encompasses every one of the 3,200 schools citywide across the five boroughs. This year, speed limits will be lowered at an additional 800 locations. bringing the total number of school zones with a 15 mile per hour speed limit to 1300 by the end of 2026, while reducing citywide speed limits in one fell swoop would require a local legislative change to the city's administrative code.” (04:03–04:08)
