I'm actually pretty happy for this enforcement. I think a lot about accessibility, and car owners that do this are causing a lot of issues.
You may also know from my post history that I'm also a frequent poster in the police problem community, so this is a rare thumbs up to those folks.
I would be if they didn't completely half ass all the marking where you can't park.
Not within 20 feet 9f the crosswalk. Some curbs are painted red 5'. Some curbs painted red 20'. Some curbs aren't painted. Some crosswalks aren't white striped but they still count.
They wrote nearly $500,000 worth of fines in 2 months but don't bother to properly mark the curbs or even the crosswalks first.
A similar rule applies to not parking too closely to stop signs in my area. There aren't any extra signs or painted curbs, drivers are just expected to ask themselves, is this too close to that stop sign? I don't see how crosswalks are any different. If you give yourself 2 car lengths from the crosswalk you should be good for most cars.
That's a law in all states, though. It's universal. A new law that's for within 20' of a crosswalk, on only one side of the road, on unmarked cross walks as well is a lot less clear.
Same. At first glance I felt a bit of trepidation, especially with the current state of American politics, but this is a good move.
