The purpose of this new law is to increase visibility, improve pedestrian safety and reduce traffic collisions.
Recognizing that not all curbs are marked or have signage indicating compliance requirements, the LASD’s Parking Enforcement Detail will enforce this law through citations or warnings. To aid public understanding, a practical reference point is that a mid-size SUV is approximately 15 feet in length.
The painting of curbs to enhance visibility and compliance falls under the purview of the Department of Public Works (DPW). Collaborating with DPW will be crucial in ensuring clear curb markings and signage are implemented where necessary.
