New Speed Limit in Sleepy Hollow
The new speed limit in the Village of Sleepy Hollow is now 25 miles per hour unless otherwise posted.
Residents who drive should be careful on both Route 9 (where it is easy to just zip along because of the straight road and frequent lack of traffic) and on the road that encircles Kendal.
It should be noted that the Residents Association does not provide Bail Bond Service should you just forget about the speed limit and get caught. Also, Co-Pilot service does not apply.
Seriously, be careful!
