Are LSVs allowed in US cities, including New York City?
Yes. In most states, including New York (NY), Low-Speed Vehicles (LSVs) are allowed on streets with speed limits of 35 mph or less. In New York City (NYC), where the default speed is 25 miles per hour, LSV can be driven on more than 90 percent of streets across the five boroughs, except for parkways, expressways, and high-traffic arterial roads such as Queens Boulevard and Staten Island’s Hylan Boulevard and Richmond Avenue. This makes NYC notably LSV-friendly.
