Speed Limit Lowered to 20mph On Prospect Park West as Sammy’s Law Rollout Begins
New York City on Wednesday lowered the speed limit to 20 miles per hour on Prospect Park West in Brooklyn, where 12-year-old Sammy Cohen Eckstein was fatally hit by a car 11 years ago.
It’s the first of many roads to get a lower speed limit thanks to Sammy’s Law, legislation passed in the boy’s honor that allows the city to lower its speed limit from 25 to 20 miles per hour.
Audubon Avenue from 165th to 193rd streets also had its speed limit reduced to 20 miles per hour Wednesday. By the end of 2025, the speed limit will be reduced at 250 locations citywide, according to DOT Commissioner Ydanis Rodriguez.
