Recent win: Inside the $1K ‘speed limiter’ that would pump the brakes on reckless drivers under proposed NY state bill: ‘We can save lives’

Carroll Backs Safety-Boosting Speed Limiters Allowing Work And Dropoffs
👍 Positive
2025-11-12 · Leadership · New York Post · ↑ helps grade
Proposal would force court-ordered speed-limiter devices into chronic speeders’ cars. Devices link to ignitions, cap speed by GPS, and reset by zones. Demo held Nov. 12, 2025. Backers say the tech can slow deadly drivers and save lives.
Carroll Supports Safety Boosting Delivery Worker Insurance Mandate
👎 Negative
2025-06-30 · Leadership · Streetsblog NYC · ↓ hurts grade
Albany lawmakers killed a bill to make apps insure delivery workers. DoorDash lobbied hard. Cyclists and walkers left exposed. No coverage. Profits protected. Safety denied.
RC votes yes to extend school speed zones, improving child pedestrian safety.
👍 Positive
2025-06-17 · Vote · Open States · ↑ helps grade
Senate passes S 8344. School speed zone rules in New York City get extended. Lawmakers make technical fixes. The bill keeps pressure on drivers near schools. Streets stay a little safer for kids.
RC votes yes to weaken bus rules, increasing pedestrian and cyclist risk.
👎 Negative
2025-06-16 · Vote · Open States · ↓ hurts grade
Senate passed S 7785. The bill carves out large Mitchell-Lama housing from bus traffic rules. Lawmakers voted yes. The carve-out weakens enforcement. Streets grow less safe for people on foot and bike.

👍 Positive

Greater CCRB access to body‑camera footage can improve accountability and reduce biased or harmful traffic enforcement against pedestrians and cyclists, supporting equity and willingness to walk/bike. Effects on crash prevention and driver behavior are indirect and likely modest.

Int 1421-2025 would let restaurants and grocery stores run sidewalk and roadway cafes in curb or parking lanes year‑round. It speeds reviews, sets $1,050 fees and four‑year terms, and pushes dining closer to moving traffic — raising risks for pedestrians and cyclists.
A Local Law to amend the administrative code of the city of New York, in relation to expanding access to roadway and sidewalk cafes
• Neutral
2025-10-09 · Sponsor · NYC Council – Legistar
Year‑round expansion of roadway/sidewalk cafes can calm traffic and create buffers that benefit pedestrians, but also risks obstructing sidewalks, complicating winter operations, and creating conflicts near bike lanes. Net safety effects for vulnerable users hinge on strict clear-path, loading, and bike-lane protection rules and enforcement.
