I am familiar with a number of tools to reduce speeding, from traffic calming to better enforcement. When a community calls for a speed bump, cross walk, or a red light camera, I advocate on their behalf to make sure it is implemented. Because many pedestrians are struck or killed by cars obeying the speed limit, more efforts should be made to make drivers attentive and aware of pedestrians. Safe Streets education is needed on all fronts: drivers, cyclists, and pedestrians. Lowering the speed limit could be an option to explore, but it must go hand-in-hand with education.

The current speed limit is adequate. But the problem is enforcement. We can have more speed bums in areas prone to motorist speeding. We can look into a camera ticking system for those motor vehicles that are speeding. We already have this function for cars breaking red lights on some intersection.

Drivers need to pay closer attention to speed limits – especially in school zones and residential neighborhoods. I support increasing fines against speeders in these areas, and other high traffic locations across the City. In addition, more traffic safety agents should be deployed to known speeding locations, and working with the Department of Transportation and local law enforcement, I will ensure that these agents are deployed in the most effective locations and manners.

I subscribe to the spirit of the Tenets of Traffic Justice promoted by Transportation Alternatives. Specifically, we need to work to stop dangerous driving behaviors through effective enforcement. I believe that enforcement cameras as well as increasing traffic control staffing are part of the solution. Also part of the solution is thorough investigation of all traffic crashes.

The NYPD should simply be devoting more resources to policing motorists who speed. There doesn't really seem to be any enforcement of the speed limits to speak of in this city, and that has to change.

It is difficult to say whether the current limits are safe, since they are rarely followed except when there is a traffic jam. There is precious little signage to tell drivers what the speed limit is throughout the city. Increased signage and increased enforcement is needed. We also need to empower TEAs (traffic enforcement agents) to deal with truck infractions.

But signage and enforcement alone are not enough. We need to implement a range of traffic calming measures, especially near the many schools in the district and along 33rd Street - a residential street used to access the Grand Central Parkway. We need wider sidewalks and narrower streets, raised medians, pedestrian refuge islands and more speed humps and speed tables.

My office has requested and installed dozens of additional stop signs, speed bumps, traffic lights and additional traffic agents throughout the district. We have also requested traffic studies of highly used and dangerous areas such as 31st Street and Astoria Blvd., Crescent Street and requested increased police enforcement of traffic violations on many occasions and will continue to do so. In addition, I have brought the district red light cameras.

Yes, I think the current speed limits are adequate. There are some areas where speed limits need to be adjusted, but the citywide 30 MPH limit is appropriate.

Speeding is unacceptable behavior for motor vehicle drivers in our city. Our streets are too active and dense to allow for this type of dangerous offense to occur which could have disastrous consequences. Daniel Dromm will be an advocate for lowering the speed limit in densely populated residential areas like his district which includes neighborhoods such as Jackson Heights, Elmhurst, Corona and LeFrak City. Daniel Dromm will work to increase enforcement of NYC's speed limits by making it a top priority for the NYPD. As public officials, Dromm is committed to public safety as his top priority.

I believe that NYC speeding laws should be strictly enforced, and that additional resources be deployed to high needs areas such as 63 Road and Queens Blvd. I would encourage a kind of "Operation Impact" (the NYPD program that assigns additional resources for high crime areas)for traffic enforcement.
