New parking rules taking effect in San Francisco this week: Here's what to know
Briefly

New changes to California's daytime law will soon prohibit parking within 20 feet of crosswalks in San Francisco. Initially, drivers will receive warnings, but starting in January, fines of $40 will be issued for violations. This significant adjustment to parking regulations aims to enhance pedestrian safety, albeit at the cost of eliminating thousands of parking spaces across the city.
The new rule's primary objective is to improve pedestrian safety. City officials believe that by reducing the number of parked cars near intersections, visibility for both drivers and pedestrians will greatly increase, ultimately leading to fewer accidents and enhanced public safety.
