The methodology for selecting these 33 locations came from data collection by the SFTMA which can be viewed below:

Monterey from Edna to Congo: 16.6%

Given recent high-profile accidents and the daylighting, efforts to increase pedestrian visibility at crosswalks and intersections, we are starting to see some significant safety efforts coming to fruition.
SFMTA Changes March 2025
The new daylighting law is a state law (Assembly Bill 413 AB 413), not just a San Francisco ordinance. The impact is largely focused around San Francisco given density, limited parking spaces and ongoing attention of the city in the media in efforts to make it look bad in conservative media outlets.
Daylighting was to take effect January 1st, 2025 but was delayed until March 1st, 2025. Warnings are expected continue to be given during this time (which started in November 1st, 2024) to help create more awareness of the changes coming.
California Daylighting Law March 2025
There is a bit of confusion around implementation of warnings, painted red curbs. SFMTA has stated they won’t be painting all the intersections impacted leaving drivers to know the law and assess distances.
Some of the biggest headaches and likely vocal opposition will come from these scenarios:
Those who regularly park in t-intersections
Those who have driveways within 20 feet of crosswalks/intersections
Those who park within 20 feet of an intersection that is not painted red
Those who park within 20 feet on an intersection that is painted green for business parking (usually 5-30 minutes only)
Those who park within 20 feet on an intersection and has a parking meter*
*In this last example, I have seen some intersections being addressed with SFMTA covering up meters with red bags/sacks.
Who Will Get A Speeding Ticket From The New Cameras?
According to the SFMTA: “The speed safety cameras will photograph the rear license plate of vehicles traveling 11 MPH or more over the posted speed limit. Next, the registered owner of the vehicle will receive a citation.”

During the first 60 days of implementation, violators will receive a notice only.
How Much Are Speed Camera Tickets
After the 60 day window, fees will be assessed in accordance per AB645:
Violators will be able to pay their fine via a new online portal (coming soon).
