🅿️NEW TRAFFIC LAW: DAYLIGHTING

The Sheriff’s Office is asking us to help spread the word about California's new "daylighting" law, which is now in effect. This new law aims to improve pedestrian safety near schools and all intersections by prohibiting parking within 20 feet of any crosswalk (or 15 feet if there's a curb extension). This rule applies to both marked and unmarked crosswalks, regardless of painted curbs or signs, and is intended to increase visibility for drivers and pedestrians. Please be mindful of this new regulation when dropping off or picking up students to ensure the safety of our children and community. Learn more about California's new "daylighting" law.
