San Diego's new daylighting law has turned out to be a financial success, issuing over 6,000 parking tickets in just three months since its enforcement began on March 1, 2024. Initially, the fines were raised shortly after implementation, which projected a revenue increase from fines estimated between $850,000 and $1.3 million for the fiscal year. Despite not providing funds for street markings, the law aims to enhance visibility for drivers and pedestrians, affecting numerous intersections and calling on cities to adapt their traffic marking methods gradually.
The daylighting law, aimed at improving visibility for drivers and pedestrians, prohibits parking within 20 feet of intersections or crosswalks, significantly impacting San Diego's finances.
With over 6,000 tickets issued in just three months, San Diego anticipates generating substantial revenue from the new daylighting law, estimating $850,000 to $1.3 million in fines.
