The city is limiting speeds to 20 mph on 15 streets in Brooklyn in compliance with Sammy's Law, named after Sammy Cohen Eckstein. The law gives the city authority to reduce speed limits near schools, Open Streets, Shared Streets, and similar areas.
Sammy's Law was signed in April by Gov. Kathy Hochul, aiming to prevent tragic incidents like Sammy Cohen Eckstein's death. Amy Cohen, Sammy's mother, emphasized that this law is for all those who lost loved ones to reckless drivers.
