The bill amends RCW 46.61.570 to provide additional parking flexibility in residential neighborhoods. Key changes include the allowance for cities or counties to permit residential property owners to park across the point of ingress or egress of their driveways, provided the driveway is no longer than 50 feet and does not obstruct sidewalks, other driveways, or the roadway. Additionally, the bill updates various distance measurements related to parking restrictions, changing them from words to numerical values for clarity, such as changing "thirty" to "30" feet.

Other provisions of the bill maintain existing parking regulations, including prohibitions on stopping, standing, or parking in specific areas such as sidewalks, intersections, and near fire hydrants. The bill also emphasizes that parking or standing is permitted in all other locations as long as it complies with local ordinances or resolutions. Overall, the amendments aim to enhance parking options for residents while ensuring that traffic safety and accessibility are preserved.
