Violation enforcement starts September 12, 2025
Effective January 1, 2025, it is illegal in California to park within 20 feet of the vehicle approach of any marked or unmarked crosswalk, even if a red curb is not present, or 15 feet of any crosswalk where a curb extension is present.
What is Daylighting?
Daylighting is a safety improvement that restricts parking next to crosswalks.
Daylighting improves the visual field for both pedestrians and drivers: pedestrians crossing a street have a clear view of oncoming cars without stepping into the street and without a parked car in the way, and drivers approaching an intersection can easily see if a person is waiting to cross the street well in advance. By keeping the area next to crosswalks clear of parked vehicles, all street users can see each other better, reducing the potential for conflict.
Remember to leave at least 20 feet (or one large car length) between a marked or unmarked crosswalk and your vehicle.
