‘Daylighting’ parking enforcement begins next month

SAN DIEGO (FOX 5/KUSI) — Drivers in the city of San Diego will begin getting fined for violating the new statewide daylighting law starting March 1.

The law makes it ******** to park within 20 feet of a crosswalk whether it’s marked or unmarked, red or not.

Since Jan. 1, the San Diego Police Department says it has issued roughly 1,500 warnings, but in March violators will be fined $77 per ticket.

“It’s been difficult to balance,” said North Park resident Brandon Harrison.

Harrison, like many who call the urban corridors of the city home, appreciate the diversity and walkable amenities of his neighborhood, but he admits parking is prime real estate and hard to find on most days.

Between two-hour parking spots, street sweeping and new apartment buildings in the area, Harrison says he’s no stranger to parking tickets due to the limitations.

“I just got a ticket. I’ve gotten several tickets,” Harrison said.

City crews have been painting curbs red to help with enforcement.

Every city in the county is enforcing the new law differently. For example, the city of Carlsbad is encouraging officers to issue warnings for now, but starting June 30 violators will be fined $50.
