The Parking, Curb Management and Operations section within the Streets Division is facilitating safety improvements under the California Daylighting Law (AB 413). At the beginning of the year, the California Daylighting Law (AB 413) became in effect to improve safety and visibility at intersections for drivers and pedestrians, by prohibiting parking on the approach side of crosswalks either marked or unmarked. To assist in identifying this distance from the crosswalk, there are plans to continue to paint curbs red at over 2,000 intersections identified in school zones followed by the affected intersections in neighborhoods citywide.
