The fixes sit on the table
New York City now has the power to lower speeds on local streets. City leaders have begun placing 20 MPH zones. The next step is a default 20 MPH limit and intelligent speed limiters for repeat speeders. The proposed Stop Super Speeders Act would require a speed‑limiting device after 11 DMV points in 18 months or 16 camera tickets in a year (Take Action).
This is Staten Island’s map. The officials are known: Council Member Frank Morano, Assembly Member Charles Fall, and State Senator Jessica Scarcella‑Spanton. Their sponsorship status on the speed‑limiter bill is not documented here.
Lower the speed. Tame the repeat offenders. Do it before the next left turn takes another life. Take one step today at Take Action.
