""Universal Daylighting saves lives; we've seen the proof. It doesn't matter if you're walking, biking, or driving; increasing visibility at intersections makes us all safer.""
"The legislation would ban vehicles from parking within 20 feet of any intersection with a crosswalk, aiming to enhance pedestrian visibility and safety."
The New York City Council's Committee on Transportation and Infrastructure held a public hearing on a bill aimed at improving pedestrian safety by restricting parking near intersections with crosswalks. Sponsored by Councilmember Julie Won, the proposal mandates a 20-foot no-parking zone around crosswalks and includes plans for installing barriers at 1000 intersections annually, known as 'daylighting.' The initiative seeks to enhance visibility at crossings, a measure already attempted on Staten Island. This legislation builds on existing state restrictions while leveraging New York City's unique ability to adjust its parking regulations.
