Mayor de Blasio Signs New Law Lowering NYC's Default Speed Limit to 25 MPH

New default speed limit to take effect November 7

As key piece of Vision Zero takes hold, City undertaking major education effort promoting new speed limit and urging drivers to slow down

Mayor Bill de Blasio signed legislation today that will lower the default speed limit in New York City from 30 to 25 miles per hour. Beginning November 7, the speed limit on all streets will be 25 mph, unless otherwise posted.

Excessive speed contributes to 25 percent of roadway fatalities on New York City Streets and is the leading cause of motor vehicle crashes. Reducing vehicle speed from 30 to 25 mph doubles the likelihood of a pedestrian surviving a crash.

Lowering the speed limit is one of 63 initiatives being undertaken by the de Blasio administration as part of Vision Zero, a comprehensive set of policies to reduce traffic fatalities in New York City.

Approximately 95 percent of city streets are currently set at speeds of 30 mph or higher. After November 7, 90 percent of streets will have a speed limit of 25 mph or lower. Up to 3,000 new speed limit signs will be installed over the next year at a cost of $500,000. The City will prioritize signage at all entry points to the city, at major bridge and tunnel crossings, at airports, and at exits from limited access highways.

The City will continue retooling traffic signal timing and adjusting street designs to improve safety and reduce speeding through its Safe Routes to School, Arterial Slow Zone, and Neighborhood Slow Zone programs.

The NYPD and Department of Transportation are undertaking comprehensive education efforts to ready new Yorkers for the change. The 25 Days to 25 Mph campaign has been canvassing neighborhoods with NYPD and DOT personnel educating motorists and pedestrians.

The DOT is running radio, print and online ads informing the public of the change, each featuring photographs and messages from real New Yorkers, urging the drivers to slow down.

Police precincts are handing out flyers, electronic traffic displays are conveying the message, and the NYPD’s School Safety division is sending letters home with every student to inform parents.

Partners including GEICO, AAA, parking garages, and more than 1,000 civic groups, churches, community boards, council members are spreading the message to their constituencies. Those actions will culminate in an October 30 day of Action across the city that will distribute hundreds of thousands of fliers and palm cards to motorists and pedestrians.
