AB413 – California Daylighting Law

What is California’s new ‘Daylighting’ Law (AB 413)?

Assembly Bill 413 prohibits the stopping, standing, or parking of a vehicle within 20 feet of the vehicle approach side of any unmarked or marked crosswalk or 15 feet of any crosswalk where a curb extension is present.

When does AB 413 go into effect?

AB 413 was signed into law on October 10, 2023. However, prior to January 1, 2025, only warnings may be issued for a violation unless the area is clearly marked with a red curb painted or a sign.

What is the City of Pinole doing to address the changes made by AB 413?

The City of Pinole is developing strategies to evaluate intersections and identify required modifications to the curb markings at crosswalks. Engineering staff evaluated several locations including in the downtown areas, school zones, and some residential areas. The city plans to install curb markings to restrict parking near critical areas with high pedestrian traffic areas and modify parking spaces adjacent to intersections. The city also plans to take an added step by including additional curb markings at high traffic intersections.

An example of this can be seen below:
