The city Department of Transportation is accepting applications for “slow zones” where the speed would be reduced from 30 to 20 miles per hour.
According to the agency’s website, a zone will be a “self-enforcing, reduced-speed area.” It will be denoted by speed bumps, markings and other “traffic calming treatments.”
A city councilman who represents parts of Staten Island and Brooklyn tells the Staten Island Advance on its website Friday (http://bit.ly/sV5ekU ) that “the key is finding the right streets.”
Councilman James Oddo says people speed on Staten Island “just about every day on every street.”
Applications must be received by Feb. 3.
Bicycles go faster than 20mph.
Another dumb city idea that does nobody any good!
All of New York City is already a slow zone.
#1 , i was about to say what about the speeding bikes.
biggest problems are taxis and bicycles.
total disregard of any rules.
New york is already a slow zone because of the bike lanes. Creating these rules is just another way for the government to control civilians.
Where do I get a application?
