Section 1. Section 19-183 of the administrative code of the city of New York, as added by local law number 64 for the year 2010, is amended to read as follows:
� 19-183 Traffic calming devices and traffic flow designations. a. For the purposes of this section, the following terms shall have the following meanings:

2. "Senior" shall mean any person sixty-five years or older.
3. "Traffic calming device" shall mean any device, not governed by the manual on uniform traffic control devices, including, but not limited to, speed humps, curb extensions, traffic diverters, median barriers and raised walkways, installed on a street and intended to slow, reduce or alter motor vehicle traffic to improve safety for pedestrians and bicyclists.
4. "Traffic flow designation" shall mean the designation of a street as a one-way or two-way street.
b. The department shall establish guidelines governing the approval and placement of traffic calming devices.

Such guidelines shall list the conditions under which installation of such traffic calming device may be appropriate. Such guidelines shall be distributed to any entity upon request and shall be published on the department's website.
