Part 2/8:
One of the most notable changes is the implementation of a law known as daylighting, focusing on pedestrian safety. Though this law was introduced last year, it comes with enforceable fines starting January 1, 2025. Under this law, parking will be prohibited within 20 feet of a crosswalk, or 15 feet if there is a curb. Violators can face fines, even without any red curb markings or signage indicating the restrictions. This move is part of a broader effort to mitigate pedestrian accidents, especially those involving children and cyclists. The city of Sacramento is among the regions that have adopted this law, with red-painted curbs already marking areas where parking is restricted.
