What is the current speeding law?
The Village speed limit is 30mph unless otherwise posted.
Be aware of reduced speeds in a school zone.
Gov. George E. Pataki signed legislation to provide enhanced penalties for speeding in a school zone between the hours of 7 a.m. and 6 p.m. on school days. The law doubles the maximum fine that can be imposed for speeding in a school zone.
Under the enhanced law, the amount of the fine and/or penalty for speeding in a school zone depends upon the speed upon which the conviction was based.
Where the clocked speed exceeds the speed limit by 10 miles per hour or less, the bill imposes a fine of not less than $60 nor more than $200; where the clock speed exceeds the speed limit by more than 10 but not more than 30 miles per hour, the bill imposes a fine of not less than $ 120 nor more than $400, or a penalty of not more than 15 days imprisonment, or both. Where the clocked speed exceeds the speed limit by more than 30 miles per hour, the bill imposes a fine of not less than $240 nor more than $800, or a penalty of not more than 30 days imprisonment or both.
The Village will continue actively enforcing the speeding in school zone law |
