If You Drive in California…

…make sure you're aware of this recently-enacted law…

Assembly Bill 413, or California's "daylighting" law, went into effect in 2024 and prohibits drivers from stopping, standing or parking their car within 20 feet of a crosswalk and 15 feet of a crosswalk with a curb extension. During the first year of the law's implementation, violators were let off with a warning, unless the violation occurred in a properly marked area. But that warning period ends Jan. 1.

So as of nineteen days ago, you're subject to a citation if you park too close to a crosswalk. Take care.
