Nearly a hundred advocates and families of children killed in traffic gathered on the steps of City Hall on Wednesday to make streets safer, zeroing in on “universal daylighting,” by banning parking near intersections.
Daylighting is the process of repurposing city curb space closest to an intersection to improve visibility for drivers, pedestrians and cyclists. Currently, most intersections in NYC allow parking up to the crosswalk, which advocates say decreases visibility for everyone on the road.
