The levers already exist

Albany moved a bill to choke off repeat speeding. The Senate’s Stop Super Speeders Act (S 4045) would require speed‑limiting tech for drivers with 11 DMV points in 18 months or 16 camera tickets in a year Open States. Senator Nathalia Fernández, who represents this area, voted yes in committee on Jun 11 and Jun 12, 2025 Open States.

Speed enforcement stays on the books too; she also voted yes to extend school speed zones in June 2025 Open States.

City Hall has another tool: lower the default speed limit. New Yorkers have asked for it. The steps are laid out here: Take Action.

What now

The man on the Bruckner is gone. The road is the same.

Tell your lawmakers to use the tools they have. Ask the City to slow the streets and the State to rein in repeat speeders. Start here: Take Action.
