Mind where you park! Enforcement begins March 1 for the State of California’s new “Daylighting Law” (Assembly Bill 413), which aims to increase pedestrian visibility at intersections.
AB 413 prohibits parking within 20 feet of the approach side of a marked or unmarked crosswalk or 15 feet of the approach side of any marked or unmarked crosswalk where a curb extension is present. The intent of AB 413 is to provide for increased pedestrian visibility in preventing accidents and creating safer crossings.
Our Code Compliance Division has conducted an educational period and will begin issuing citations on March 1. Learn more about AB 413 at https://leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/faces/billNavClient.xhtml?bill_id=202320240AB413
