New York City has expanded its efforts to improve pedestrian safety around schools by creating hundreds of new 15 mph speed zones near educational facilities. The initiative also includes plans to install a unique school street gate system, designed to temporarily block vehicle access during drop-off and pick-up times. Officials say the measures aim to reduce traffic hazards and encourage safer walking conditions for students. The project marks a first for the city in implementing such a gate system.
