Parking next to a crosswalk is now illegal

 

SAN FRANCISCO (KGO) -- You may not know this, but parking next to a crosswalk is now illegal. The bill signed into law earlier this month is already proving to be controversial because it won't just have an impact on where you park in the Bay Area.

The law says you can't park within 20 feet of a crosswalk, whether it's marked or not.

"If you are within the spirit of the 20 feet, they'll be ok. They're not going to take out a tape measure," assured Ricardo Olea of the San Francisco Municipal Transportation Agency.

But he warned, don't expect all curbs near those crosswalks to be painted red.
