traffic collisions. report member believes those numbers could decrease by increasing vi he has authored a bill that would set a standard no parking area along the approach side of intersections or crosswalks, making it easier for pedestrians and drivers to see, like shining a light on crosswalks. . that's why this measure is known as daylighting. >> whether you are a driver, bicyclist or pedestrian, you don't have to peek or even chance a not look when there could be danger incoming. reporter: he experienced this when we attempted to cross a street where a truck is cross -- was parked at the crossing and the driver saw us at the last minute. he says the no parking zone will be 20 feet from the crosswalk to the closest car if passed. about the side of a ford f-150 truck. >> when vehicles are approaching a intersection and a person has stepped into the crosswalk but they are being blocked from view, that can put them in a position of danger. reporter: the city's dot has implemented daylighting in

certain areas, but he wants this across california to save lives and an effort to get traffic deaths 20. >> by increasing visibility, those are increased -- those are fixable solutions for these big problems. that is why it is important to have daylighting and save lives. this is an infrastructure problem, and where giving it a solution. reporter: because there are only a few steps left before the bill gets signed into law by governor newsom. dustin dorsey, abc 7 news. kristen: school districts in the bay area are aware of an issue with chromebook's. those are the devices used by many schools during the pandemic because they are relatively inexpensive. problem is the operating system in the old chromebook's is set to expire in the not so distant future. senior education reportedly a melendez is in the newsroom with what school districts are planning to do. reporter: i spoke to two districts. they told way so far, it has not been an issue.

reporter: that is the associate professor of educational leadership at cal state university east bay. here is what google told us. since 2020, we now provide eight years of automatic updates, up from five years in 2016. many districts are using the 2016 operating system. >> having access to a laptop, having access to regular wi-fi, internet capability, is absolutely essential to have access to a quality educational experience. reporter: the solution is to upgrade by purchasing a new device. sfusd said they will continue to provide devices if the oldham -- older models have expired. >> it is determined a replacement devices needed, we can work with the family individually to see what can be done. reporter: another problem is that thousands of devices that will eventually have to be recycled. google also told us they are building pulsed -- postconsumer
