Introduction
This project will implement red curb “daylighting” treatments at intersections throughout District 5 in accordance with AB 413, which prohibits vehicle parking within 20 feet of crosswalks. Daylighting is a proven safety measure that improves visibility for all road users by removing visual obstructions near crosswalks. The goal is to enhance intersection safety and reduce collisions by improving sightlines for drivers, pedestrians, and cyclists. Once complete, District 5 will become the first fully daylit district in San Francisco.
Project/Study Partners
This project is funded by the Transportation Authority’s Neighborhood Transportation Program and led by the San Francisco Municipal Transportation Agency (SFMTA).
