Curb Color Meaning
Red Curbs
Red curbs are no parking zones, which means no stopping, standing or parking at any time.
No portion of the vehicle, including the bumper, can cover a red curb, and there is no parking anytime in these zones.
Yellow Curbs
General regulation: commercial loading only. Vehicles with a commercial license plate are allowed to park in yellow zones, only if they are actively loading or unloading freight, for a maximum of 30 minutes
Yellow curb zone restrictions are in effect Monday through Saturday 7:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. unless otherwise posted on signs; all other parking regulations are in effect outside hours noted
Vehicles without a commercial license plate may load and unload passengers or baggage in these zones, but only for a maximum of 5 minutes
White Curbs
A white curb means the area is a loading zone, where you can park for a short time while unloading things like passengers, mail or luggage. Loading zones are short term, and have a cap of around 3 minutes, except at hotels which allow people to park for around 10 minutes.
There is no long term parking anytime in these zones.
Blue Curbs (Accessible Parking Zones)
Blue curbs are reserved for people with disabilities with a disabled person parking placard or plate issued by the California Department of Motor Vehicles. No one else can park at blue curbs.
