Cops to drivers: Blame City Hall for new speed limits

Even city cops feel bad for blindsiding drivers by enforcing the new 25-mph speed limit with little warning.

The officer who pulled over bridge painter Dino Ioannou for going 29 mph just two weeks after the lower limit took effect said he would have let it slide if the NYPD wasn't under so much pressure from City Hall.

"The cop who pulled me over said he felt bad he had to give me a ticket," said Ioannou, 35, a father of two young children who unsuccessfully fought the $130 ticket Monday at the DMV's Traffic Violations Bureau in Flushing.

"The cop even said, 'I'm so sorry, normally I wouldn't enforce this sort of thing, but the mayor is making us."

The Astoria resident said he was stunned when he heard a siren while going less than 30 mph down the service road of the Grand Central Parkway near 82nd Street on Nov. 20.

When told of the mayor's pledge to ease into enforcement and not bombard drivers with tickets, Ioannou said, "Are you kidding me? Everybody up there is here for [a] speeding ticket.

"They've been pulling everybody over since the day [the law] went into effect," he said. "It's more than an inconvenience. I have two kids. That money could have went toward diapers."
