Starting Jan 1, 2025, California bans parking near crosswalks to boost pedestrian safety.

California will implement a new "daylighting" law on January 1, 2025, prohibiting parking within 20 feet of any crosswalk to enhance driver visibility and reduce pedestrian accidents. The law applies statewide, regardless of existing signs, and violators will face a $77.50 fine after a 60-day warning period. This move aims to improve safety by increasing the visibility of pedestrians and other road users at intersections, similar to laws in 43 other states.
