  Not specifically although it may be somewhere. This would be the applicable section of the Traffic Rules of the City of New York: Section 4-06 SPEED RESTRICTIONS (a) Maximum speed limits and basic rule. (1) No person shall drive a vehicle at a speed greater than twenty-five miles per hour...

4. Case Law or Supporting Evidence for Speed Survey Defense
  
  The traffic control devices DO conform with the MUTCD. I have never heard of a speed survey in New York State. Perhaps DOT does them, but more likely they don't. There is no legal requirement that I know of that mandates them. I have made several thousand appearances in TVB locations...

5. Case Law or Supporting Evidence for Speed Survey Defense
  
  You'll get nowhere with this line of defense in the Traffic Violations Bureau, or any other court in New York State. If you were written a speed in Queens it was probably by either a Highway Patrol officer or a precinct summons officer. Either way, they have tons of experience testifying in...

  No matter what anyone here says it won't give you piece of mind because it would just be wild guessing and pointless.

  Much? That's a good one. The bottom line is that no one here can predict what will happen in this case - we don't read minds. Your "bf" needs an attorney. Period.

8. What to say to the police
  
  I read a Scifi short story years ago in which it was illegal to not carry a gun. Street crime didn't exist.

  By the time the beam is detected it's too late. Lidar detectors seem to be pointless.

13. 3 year old Speeding ticket?!
  
  If you plead not guilty you will be scheduled for a pre-trial conference with either a police officer or the town attorney or designated prosecutor. You will most likely be offered a reduced charge, maybe even a non-speeding infraction depending upon your record. It's up to you to either take...

14. 3 year old Speeding ticket?!
  
  CPL 30.30 applies only to crimes and violations. Courts have, over and over again, distinguished between violations and traffic infractions. They are both petty offenses but they are distinct. We learn in the Police Academy that both must occur in our presence in order to summons/arrest. That is...

15. 3 year old Speeding ticket?!
  
  That has no application here whatsoever. Traffic infractions are not misdemeanors. The prosecution started with the issuance of the traffic ticket.

16. 3 year old Speeding ticket?!
  
  No, you do not. In New York State courts have ruled that it does not apply in traffic cases. The police do not use radar detectors. If that's an example of what you think then you probably need to get an attorney. No - there is no discovery for traffic cases in New York.

  If one stays in one's car it could be fairly easy to do, especially if there's even just a little bit of sun. Of course, there wouldn't be for the whole 12 hours or if it an overnight event.

  We're not talking sub-zero temperatures. OP said it was 30 degrees. That's not very cold. And if one is driving around Alaska it should be pretty normal to carry blankets, etc in one's car for just such an occurrence.
