Daylighting simply refers to opening up visibility at corners by removing one parking space. This can be accomplished in a number of ways including striping, coloring the curb or adding signage to indicate that parking is not allowed. It can also be accomplished by extending the curb (which of course wipes out one parking spot). These terms are similar, but aren't exactly the same. Hope that clears it up!
