Jonathan Vankin for California Local- NHTSA found that, nationwide, about 36 percent of all crashes take place at intersections. Of those, 7.8 percent—more than 60,000 crashes per year—are due to obstructed views. There are numerous ways an intersection view can be blocked, but vehicles parked too close to the corner is certainly a frequent one. Lee’s bill tries to cut down on those obstructions by banning parked vehicles within 20 feet of an intersection or a crosswalk.
