Summary
New York City is transforming school zones across all five boroughs with 15 mph speed limits, over 200 already live and aiming for 800 by year’s end — all to keep kids safer on their way to school. Part of Sammy’s Law, the School Slow Zones program combines smart street redesigns and new safety features to shift priorities from cars to children. The city’s first-ever Open Streets gate in Tribeca turns a street into a car-free playground, complete with seating and walking space. With hundreds more school streets slated for redesign, NYC is boldly upgrading its infrastructure to protect the youngest residents — because no child should have to cross a dangerous intersection to get to class.
