See More Downtown Events Public Works Update California’s New Daylighting Law (AB 413) Takes Effect Jan. 1 Beginning Jan. 1, 2025, remember to leave at least 20 feet (or one large car length) between a marked or unmarked crosswalk and your vehicle! California Assembly Bill 413, also known as the Daylighting Law, prohibits stopping or parking a car within 20 feet of the vehicle approach of any painted or unpainted crosswalk, or 15 feet of any crosswalk where a curb extension is present. This new state law helps increase visibility for all road users, including bicyclists and pedestrians entering the crosswalk and drivers approaching the crosswalk. New red curb markings will be installed in a phased approach in areas with high pedestrian-activity, commercial uses, schools, and parks, as well as high priority intersections identified in the adopted Local Road Safety Plan to be consistent with the new law. Street parking will be removed for new red curb markings where there is street parking next to the crosswalk. There will be a 45-day grace period starting on Jan. 1, 2025 when warnings will be issued for AB 413-related violations to allow time to adjust to this new law.
