Keep pedestrians safe. Park 20 feet from intersections starting Jan 1. | City of Berkeley
While statewide “daylighting” law goes into effect with the new year, a grace period in Berkeley means that local $64 fines will begin on April 1, 2025. Starting January 1, drivers should park their vehicles at least 20 feet from the approaching side of an intersection to help fellow motorists see and yield to pedestrians at crosswalks.By removing the visual barrier of those parked cars, fellow motorists better see the transition point where people walk onto pavement – both the crosswalk ahead of the driver as well as the crosswalk passed over on a right-turn.
