Go slow on Ridge
Have you noticed the newly installed signs along Ridge Boulevard?
Just days after its advent was announced by Councilmember Vincent Gentile, the School Slow Zone is officially in effect. New signs from 84th Street to 92nd have been put up, alerting drivers to reduce speed to 20 MPH. As part of the speed zone, those ticketed for speeding along the strip will be charged at a higher than normal rate.
The eight-block corridor is the site of four schools: Visitation Academy, P.S. 185, Adelphi Academy and DGK School. It was selected as part of a community-based program to change driver behavior.
