Bellflower, CA Parking Rules: Curb Color Rules (2026)

Curb-color meanings in Bellflower follow California Vehicle Code 21458, the uniform statewide standard. Red means no stopping, standing or parking at any time (except a bus at a marked stop). Yellow is for loading and unloading of freight or passengers, generally by commercial vehicles within posted time limits. White is for loading and unloading passengers or depositing mail. Green allows parking for a limited time as posted. Blue is reserved for disabled-placard parking. The City enforces curb markings through its adopted Los Angeles County Code: failure to obey a sign or curb-parking restriction is cited under 15.20.070 at a $57 fine, and disregarding parking-space markings under 15.20.130 at $47. No-parking-anytime red zones are also cited under LA County Code 15.64.260 ($52). Painting or marking curbs to designate parking restrictions is an official traffic-control function performed by the City and county; only authorized public agencies may apply legally enforceable curb colors. Residents and businesses may not paint a curb to create their own no-parking zone, and an unofficial painted curb is not enforceable. Requests for new or repainted curb markings (for example, a red zone near a driveway or a disabled-parking blue zone) go through the City's Public Works Department. Disabled-curb and crosshatch violations carry the highest fines, $438, under CVC 22507.8.
