Frustration over pedestrian safety measures persists among parents due to lack of action. The SFMTA plans to implement 20-foot daylighting zones based on engineering reviews. Under AB 314, local authorities can adjust distances for pedestrian safety if justified by data. Community members express concerns about dangers created by parked cars near intersections. A recent incident involving a child near an elementary school highlights the potential risks associated with insufficient daylighting.
"Nobody appears to be doing anything, and that's where my frustration as a parent comes from," Nossokoff said.
SFMTA said daylighting lengths in high-collision areas vary based on engineering reviews to maintain street safety and will implement 20-foot daylighting zones citywide.
Under AB 314, local authorities can set a different distance for the approach if marked by paint or a sign, with supporting data for safety.
Danielle Jezienicki's son was involved in a life-threatening crash just 100 feet from school, raising concerns about the dangers of parked cars near intersections.
