Yes. Lives are more important than parked cars obscuring sight lines of those in and out of vehicles. Daylighting intersections should be a standard safety practice everywhere.
Mayor Mamdani said over the weekend that he wants the Department of Transportation to add daylighting before someone has been killed rather than wait to ban parking at intersections after a completely avoidable tragedy. nyc.streetsblog.org/2026/01/05/m...
