FRESNO, Calif. (KSEE/KGPE) — California's new "Daylighting Law" will be enforced on Jan. 1 leaving some drivers concerned about a loss of parking spots. For many cities in California finding a parking spot can be a challenge.  "I think that's pretty aggressive 20 feet," a resident said.  But come Jan. 1, it may get even harder.  The law prohibits drivers from parking within 20 feet of any crosswalk or 15 feet with extended curbs. Assembly Bill 413 went into effect at the beginning of this year, but up until now, violators were only given warnings. "We're still within that grace period that was granted by the state. But starting January of 2025, be aware that if you are parked within 20 feet of that intersection, you may be receiving a citation," Anthony Puente, Clovis Police Department Corporal said. The law applies whether the crosswalk is marked or unmarked-- regardless of if the curb is painted red or not. Puente said this is to keep intersections safer for pedestrians.  "We understand that parking is an issue. We just encourage them to park in the designated areas," Puente said.  The Daylighting citation will cost drivers about 40 dollars on average.  "The average car is anywhere between 15 to 25 feet in length. So, we say 1 to 2 cars is a good reference point," Puente said.  While the rule is meant to protect pedestrians, some believe the law will make it harder to find street parking. "You can't find parking anywhere as it is. And that's going to take away a lot of spots," a resident said.  California authorities will start handing out tickets on January 1 to those not following the Daylighting law.
