Improve Visibility at Crosswalks
California State Law AB413 eliminates 20 feet of parking in front of crosswalks and at intersections for the intent of "daylighting" the crossings to help improve visibility between pedestrians, bicyclists, and motorists.
The law restricts parking regardless of whether red curbs or parking sign restrictions are in place. Motorists should avoid parking directly in front of crosswalks to comply with the new state law.
Parking Compliance
Starting January 1, 2025, stopping or parking within 20 feet of a marked crosswalk or intersection is not allowed. Motorists are responsible for complying with the law whether parking is restricted using red curb or parking restrictions.
State Law Implementation
AB413 allows for immediate parking enforcement starting January 1, 2025. Motorists are encouraged to self-comply with the law to avoid citations.
