California’s new Daylighting Law (AB 413) took effect on January 1, 2025. The law prohibits stopping, standing, or parking a vehicle within 20 feet of a marked or unmarked crosswalk.
How does it work?
- The law improves road safety by increasing visibility for pedestrians and bicyclists
- It gives drivers more time to react and yield to pedestrians and cyclists
- It helps drivers see if someone is waiting to cross from a distance
What does it apply to?
- Within 15 feet of any crosswalk where there is a curb extension
- Any marked or unmarked crosswalk
Local police departments in Orange County are aware of this new law and will be writing tickets.
This will be a huge pain in Santa Ana where street parking is already hard to come by…
