Yesterday, San Diego revealed plans to update its local laws to address vehicular congestion disrupting pedestrian and cyclist routes. The City of San Diego reports that vehicles parked in one spot for periods exceeding 72 hours create the main issue.
Although regulations already prohibit parking in the same place for more than 72 hours, enforcement is problematic. Vehicle owners regularly reset the 72-hour clock by moving their cars only a short distance.
In response, San Diego plans to amend the law to require that parked vehicles be moved at least half a mile after 72 hours.
