S3080-2011 Memo

BILL NUMBER:S3080

TITLE OF BILL:
An act
to amend the vehicle and traffic law, in relation to authorizing the
town of Hempstead, in the county of Nassau, to establish a speed limit
of less than thirty miles an hour for certain highways within the
community of Lido Beach

PURPOSE:
The purpose of this bill is to enhance pedestrian and
vehicular safety in Lido Beach, New York.

SUMMARY OF PROVISIONS:
This bill amends the Vehicle and Traffic Law � 1662-a to permit
the establishment of 15 m.p.h. speed zones on
certain streets and in front of school buildings in Lido Beach,
New York.

EXISTING LAW:
Vehicle and Traffic Law � 1662-a already contains
provisions identical to the proposed amendment which apply to Point
Lookout, New York, the community adjacent to Lido Beach.

JUSTIFICATION:
The proposed bill is justified for the following three
reasons:

1. The area of Lido Beach affected by the bill is a residential
enclave front in a beach park. Six of the sixteen streets named in
the bill provide beach access. The safety of pedestrian beach goers
would be enhanced by lower speed limits.

2. Ten of the named streets are dead end streets. The 15 m.p.h. limit
would help safety by slowing down drivers not familiar with the area
who enter this portion of Lido Beach expecting to find through streets.

3. Point Lookout which is next to Lido Beach already has a 15 m.p.h.
speed limit. The proposed amendment would make uniform the speed
limits for almost all of the residential area east of the Long Beach
city line.

LEGISLATIVE HISTORY:
2009-2010 S.5788A/A.8995 Referred to Transportation

FISCAL IMPLICATIONS:
None.

EFFECTIVE DATE:
Immediately.
