Responding to concerns expressed by parents and community members about speeding on Washington Avenue in Plainview, Nassau County Legislature Deputy Minority Leader Arnold W. Drucker (D-Plainview) announced the installation of two speed awareness devices that will improve traffic safety near H.B. Mattlin Middle School.
The devices, which were installed approximately a half mile apart, will check speed going in both directions on Washington Avenue and warn motorists if they are exceeding the 30-mile-per-hour speed limit outside the middle school on from 7 a.m. to 6 p.m. on school days.
“The safety of our community will always be my top priority, and I want to thank the concerned parents who reached out to my office and Nassau County’s Department of Public Works to share their concerns about the chronic speeding on Washington Avenue,” Drucker said. “This is a great example of community advocacy leading to positive change, and I am proud to have secured critical improvements in Plainview that will protect our children and enhance our quality of life.”
