MEDICARE IS A WARNING. DRIVERS BEWARE OR BE CAREFUL OUT THERE. PARKING PATROL OFFICERS WILL STILL BE CRACKING DOWN. >> Reporter: THE IDEA IS THAT ENFORCEMENT WILL PRIORITIZE SAFETY VIOLATIONS. DRIVERS PARKING AND BLOCKING THE SIDEWALK. THEY SAY THAT RIGHT NOW THEY ARE FULLY STAFFED UP WITH PARKING CONTROL OFFICERS. DRIVERS WILL NEED TO MAKE SURE THEY ARE TAKING A LITTLE MORE CARE WHEN PARKING IN THE CITY BY THE BAY. SAN FRANCISCO SAYS THOSE WHOSE VEHICLES BLOCK SIDEWALKS OR CROSSWALKS WILL SOON BE A TARGET FOR ENHANCED ENFORCEMENT. THE BOTTOM LINE IS SIDEWALKS NEED TO BE CLEAR FOR PEDESTRIANS TO USE THEM SAFELY. >> IT WILL BE BENEFICIAL FOR PEOPLE LIKE ME WHO ARE PRIMARILY A PEDESTRIAN. I'M NOT DRIVING AROUND A LOT. IN THIS NEIGHBOR SAYS WHILE SHE WILL SET FROM A CRACK DOWN, SHE QUESTIONS IF IT IS NEEDED? >> PART OF IT FEELS LIKE RESOURCES SHOULD BE PUT TO SOMETHING ELSE. SOMETHING LIKE THAT, I DON'T SEE IT THAT OFTEN. DOES NOT FEEL LIKE IT'S THAT NECESSARY. >> GIVEN THE SCARCITY OF OFFICERS WE HAVE FACED, THERE ARE PEOPLE WHO THINK THAT THE RULES DO NOT EXIST. WE WANT TO MAKE SURE WE GET THE WORD OUT, WE ARE FINALLY ABLE TO START ENFORCING THE RULES. >> Reporter: THE DIRECTOR SAID THEY ARE ABLE TO DO THIS BECAUSE THEY PARKING CONTROL OFFICE IS STAFFED SINCE THE FIRST TIME SINCE THE PANDEMIC. >> EACH DISTRICT AROUND THE CITY, WE DO ABOUT ONE WEEK OF INTENSIVE ENFORCEMENT. OF ALL THE RULES, PARTICULARLY, THE SAFETY ORIENTED RULES LIKE PARKING ON THE SIDEWALK, BLOCKING FIRE HYDRANTS, BLOCKING CROSSWALKS. PARKING TO CLOSE TO THE CORNER. IN THE PARKING CONTROL OFFICER PLAN IS ONE OF THE WAYS WE ARE MAKING SIDEWALKS AND STREETS SAFER FOR PEOPLE WALK BEING AND ROLLING. SOME NEIGHBORS POINT OUT THAT IT IS NOT THE ONLY PARKING CHALLENGE. >> PEOPLE COMING FROM DIFFERENT PARTS OF SAN FRANCISCO, THEY HAVE TO PARK SOMEWHERE.
