Are school zone speed limits in NY enforceable outside school days and times?

Speed cameras run 24/7 and on weekends in NYC now.

Right, but are school zone speed limits in NY enforceable at all times of the day, not just when school is in session?
And I'm confused. If the cameras are in school zones shouldn't they be enforcing only the school zone speed limit?

Chapter 71, Title 7, Article 30, Section 1180 of the Consolidated Laws of New York states the following:
(c) Except as provided in subdivision (g) of this section, whenever
maximum school speed limits have been established on a highway adjacent
to a school as authorized in section sixteen hundred twenty, sixteen
hundred twenty-two, sixteen hundred thirty, sixteen hundred forty-three
or sixteen hundred sixty-two-a, no person shall drive in excess of such
maximum school speed limits during:
(1) school days at times indicated on the school zone speed limit
sign, provided, however, that such times shall be between the hours of
seven o'clock A.M. and six o'clock P.M. or alternative times within such
hours;
Now New York City often gets carve outs and whatnot, so that might not apply, but it's a start.

New York City is weird when it comes to school zones. Unlike the rest of the country where a school zone is a special limit for a specific section of roadway, in NYC a "school zone" simply means anywhere within a certain distance of a school... a distance that covers something like 75% of the roadway mileage in the city. And yes, they recently got permission to run the cameras 24/7/365.

The ghost of I-895!
I see construction at I-95 NB/Pelham Pkwy. Are they finally adding a lane to I-95 in that section Northbound?
plain:
And amazingly it still reads as 895!
