Eyes on the Street: Slower Speed Limits Coming to Broadway, Southern Blvd

nypd_speed_notice

A Streetsblog reader sent in this NYPD flyer posted in the lobby of his apartment building on the Upper West Side, and another reports getting the same notice via email yesterday.

The citywide 25 mph speed limit enacted by Albany this session is expected to go into effect in October. In the meantime, the de Blasio administration is moving ahead with its "Arterial Slow Zone" program, which combines 25 mph limits, safer traffic signal timing, and increased speed enforcement.

Broadway above Midtown and just about all of Southern Boulevard are next in line for the Slow Zone treatment, and it's good to see NYPD marking the occasion with this straightforward street safety message.
