You might honestly think that the speed limit in Manhattan is "whatever you can crank it up to between red lights." That's wrong, and the New York City Department of Transportation wants you to know that it's 30 mph.
More than that, however, the NYC DOT wants you to know

Check out the humorous PSA spots for yourself
