Starting Monday, the SFMTA will begin issuing warnings for vehicles that are parked within 20 feet of a crosswalk in the direction of approaching traffic.

This marks the beginning of the end of a grace period in place throughout the year for drivers to get up to speed with California's new "Daylighting Law," which went into effect on Jan. 1, 2024.

The law is similar to laws on the books in more than 40 other states. The purpose is to make it safer for pedestrians by increasing the visual field for both pedestrians crossing the street and for drivers pulling up to an intersection.
